I begged her not to go, said I could not live without her She said don't be dramatic, you'll survive She drove away, the sky turned gray I cried all night about her I'm still breathin' but her leavin' hurts more Each day I'm alive If I can't live without her, how come I ain't dead Six feet down in the cold, cold ground With a stone above my head But somethin's wrong 'cause now she's gone And I live on instead If I can't live without her, how come I ain't dead I wake up every mornin' scared to open up my eyes Don't know if I'll be there in the mirror But there I am, a broken man I look somewhat surprised I'm grateful for another day But amazed that I'm still here If I can't live without her, how come I ain't dead Six feet down in the cold, cold ground With a stone above my head But somethin's wrong 'cause now she's gone And I live on instead If I can't live without her, how come I ain't dead Saint Peter's waitin' for me outside the pearly gates But I'm waitin' on the angel band, I guess they're runnin' late If I can't live without her, how come I ain't dead Six feet down in the cold, cold ground With a stone above my head But somethin's wrong 'cause now she's gone And I live on instead If I can't live without her, how come I ain't dead
