Cold, Cold Earth

Album: The Hardest Part (2000)
Play Video
  • The night was hot and steamy and crickets sang their tune
    Everyone was sleeping under an august moon
    Except one man that sat awake slowly going mad
    Regretting that he'd thrown away the only love he had

    A slave to the bottle he'd driven his family to leave
    A wife and two daughters he'd treated so terribly
    Drunk with grief and loneliness he wasn't thinking straight
    He knew he couldn't live unless they pardoned his mistakes

    He went into the city to try to make amends
    Asked his love for pity but she would not give in
    Overwhelmed with sadness he reached for his gun
    And took her life along with his before the morning sun

    Now they are lying in the cold, cold earth
    Such a sad, sad story such a sad, sad world Writer/s: Allison Moorer
    Publisher: BMG Rights Management
