Since You've Gone to Heaven

歌詞

Since you've gone to heaven I don't like comin' home But I can't stand the thought of mom In that big house alone She can't keep it up She really oughtta sell Oh, that house without you in it Is nothin' but a shell Since you've gone to heaven The whole world's gone to hell Everybody says that Billy Is lookin' more and more like you But he won't talk about you Until he's had a few He dropped outta college He's in and out of jail Had to pawn your pocketwatch last month To post his bail Since you've gone to heaven The whole world's gone to hell And I hate you had to leave us But glad you didn't live to see this Broken pieces of the family you made Mama's lookin' so much older Baby brother can't stay sober I bet you're rollin' over in your grave Since you've gone to heaven They've shut the saw mill down Guys you worked for thirty years with Have all moved out o' town There're signs on every storefront Seems like everything's for sale They say the market's bouncin' back But it's sure hard to tell Since you've gone to heaven The whole world's gone to hell And I hate you had to leave us But glad you didn't live to see this The broken pieces of the Norman Rockwell days The banks are takin' over Half the town is in foreclosure I bet you're rollin' over in your grave Since you've gone to heaven I've struggled with 'goodbye' And broke a lot of promises I made the day you died Wish I was more like you Less like myself And I wish that I could talk to you 'Cause I could use your help Since you've gone to heaven The whole world's gone to hell Since you've gone to heaven
