Vern Gosdin - Dead from the Heart on Down Lyrics

My friends all came around to say goodbyeAnd to see if there was something they could doBut they knew from the tears that filled my eyesThere was just one way to get me over youThey may as well just lay my soul to restAnd place pretty flowers on my chestIn my head the world still turns aroundBut I’m dead from the heart on downTake me in that long black limousineTo the church yard on the other side of townJust lay me down with all my shattered dreams‘Cause I’m dead from the heart on downYou may as well just lay my soul to restAnd place pretty flowers on my chestIn my head the world still turns aroundBut I’m dead from the heart on downYes, I’m dead from the heart on down
