My, my, I know the well is dry
Sing me a song one more time
The wind is raging and the birds won't fly
Nothing to eat and nowhere to hide
Momma is gonna be alright
Tell me the story just one more time
Where the grass is green and the water runs wild
Where forever is forever and no-one has to die
(Chorus)
Cause you can't eat the dirt even if you wanna
Cause you can't eat the dirt even if you wanna
Cause you can't breathe the dirt even if you wanna
But you'll be in the dirt, you'll be the dirt
(Verse)
Momma, I know I'm ready now
I'm not afraid, and you don't need to cry
Just close my eyes and wake up into a new life
Momma, there's no need to cry
(Chorus)
Because you can't eat the dirt even if you wanna
Cause you can't eat the dirt even if you wanna
Cause you can't breathe the dirt even if you wanna
But you'll be in the dirt, you'll be the dirt
