The day they laid him down they drove outside of town Until they found their way to a graveyard by the interstate They all gathered around and stared into the ground But from what I’ve heard them say, she never took her eyes away from the cars out on the freeway She kept thinking ‘bout the, the crashes and chrome bumper flashes The tires headed homeward and outward bound All the, the questions and mundane interactions The nine-to-fivers and the sand line drawers And she said, what I heard, she let go of the little strings holding her together She said, what I heard, she took hold of the hands that had been pushing her The day they laid him down mouths all over town Would kiss her on the cheek while their rolling eyes would meet over her shoulder The rumblings they grew ‘til a storm came through But long before it struck, as their tongues run amok, she was rolling in faster Just thinking ‘bout the sympathetic smilers and closed teeth liars The hypocrites praying in those old church pews All the, “Oh bless your hearts, this must be so hard” The gossiping mourners on each street corner And she said, what I heard, she let go of the little strings holding her together She said, what I heard, she took hold of the hands that had been pushing her forward All the years and all the days she didn’t go, he didn’t change Until the day, the day they laid him down They’ll say they didn’t notice, but as they think back on it now In her eyes and in that house, she’s never been there anyhow And she said, what I heard, she let go of the little strings holding her together She said, what I heard, she took hold of the hands that had been pushing her forward All the years and all the days she didn’t go, he didn’t change Until the day, the day they laid him down
