Текст песни Dearly Departed Friend (Old Crow Medicine Show) с переводом

The service went the way it should have gone

No one talked too loud or cried too long

'Cept your mama’s new boyfriend

He went on and on while they laid you in the ground

Right about then a truck backfired

And all the boys they flinched their heads

Yeah that shook me up I guess

I been home a month now and I still can’t get no rest

Standing by the grave of a dearly departed friend

With nothing much to say except sorry it turned out like it did

21 guns for 21 years and American flags in the wind

Standing by the grave of a dearly departed friend

Barbecue grills and lawnmowers

Kids on four-wheelers and ice cream trucks

Yeah they buried you on a Saturday

Georgia lost to Tennessee, you would have liked that I know

Afterwards we went to O’Charleys

Your mama’s boyfriend got drunk saying it should have been me

And I wish it was, him I mean

So I went home, got drunk and watched the TV

I’m standing by the grave of a dearly departed friend

With nothing much to say except sorry it turned out like it did

21 guns for 21 years and American flags in the wind

Standing by the grave of a dearly departed friend

Hey, there’s only one road leads out of this town and it comes right back

So I just drive in circles, circles, and I try not to blow my stack

Out at the mall and the motor mile, it’s just as lonesome as a sea

And man the girls round here, the girls round here

They’re just as hopeless as they used to be

So go on and tie another yellow ribbon round the old hackberry tree

And tamp the dirt down, y’all go on home now, there ain’t nothing here to see

Standing by the grave of a dearly departed friend

With nothing much to say except sorry it turned out like it did

21 guns for 21 years and American flags in the wind

Standing by the grave of a dearly departed friend

I’m just standing by the grave of a dearly departed friend
