The Eastern Lyrics

I can’t tell you where my heart lies
But there’s a ghost in the valley and he’s just my size
You gonna love me
You gonna love me when I’m gone

Well I done my best to drink myself blind
I would have stood beside you like a piece of iron
You gonna love me
You gonna love me when I’m gone

You gonna love me when I’m all in roses
You gonna love me when I’m gone

There’s a busted fence that’s fallin’ down
But it’s the only thing that’ll hold me now
You gonna love me
You gonna love me when I’m gone

There’s a row of oaks and a row of graves
Like a row of free and row of slaves
You gonna love me
You gonna love me when I’m gone

You gonna love me when I’m all in roses
You gonna love me when I’m gone

I’mma catch a train
Put a bullet in your brain
Right below that line of oaks

Put you in the ground
Never make a sound
Ride that pony east I know

You gonna love me when I’m all in roses
You gonna love me when I’m gone

You can say your prayers and you can dress in white
But what’you tell yourself when you’re alone at night
You gonna love me
You gonna love me when I’m gone

I can’t tell you where my heart lies
But I’m’a love to be there oh to watch you die
You gonna love me
You gonna love me when I’m gone

You gonna love me when I’m all in roses
You gonna love me when I’m gone

You gonna love me when I’m gone
You gonna love me when I’m gone
