About

My brother had the lyrics complete just as you see them. I was so impressed with his writing that i wrote four completely different songs before i wrote the music that you hear now. After finishing the recording of the song i sent a rough mix of the song to my brother. He told me when he got it he had gotten home from work, took the phone off the hook, cranked up his stereo and told me it was one of the best experiences of his life. He later told me that he'd had a feeling it would be that good.

Lyrics

Well I cant live without you
I told you right from the start
But you ran off and left me alone
Dyin from a broken heart
Now I don't see any future
And there ain't any past to keep
So I'm drinking my way
To an early grave
To make a sad story complete

I'm diggin my grave with a bottle
It's the saddest thing to see
You might not think it would be very easy
But it's workin' real good for me
Don't need a pick or a shovel
When a glass full of ice will do
I'm diggin my grave with a bottle
Just cover me up when I'm through yeah

All my friends drop by to say
A few kind words to me
But words don't help
From somebody else
It's only your love I need
As I sit hear slowly dyin'
Cryin' my way through the grief
The great beyond looks good from here
It's better than the life I see
