The Wood Brothers - Neon Tombstone Lyrics

See the backbone of a thin man
Ribs comin' out of his chest
He’s got troubles like a tin man
His heart is a rusted mess

He keeps chasin' those bombshells
With the painted on smiles
But they don't give him the time of day
And that's the fool reason he cries

When I die I wanna be sent back to try try again
When I die I wanna be sent back to try try again
I’m not ready to let go of the pain
I’m not ready for heaven so let me off of this train

Says he wants a neon tombstone
When it's his time to go
Says he'd hate to be forgotten
When he's six feet below

And if you try to love him
He won't stay
Likes his love from a distance
He’ll just push you away

When I die I wanna be sent back to try try again
When I die I wanna be sent back to try try again
I’m not ready to let go of the pain
I’m not ready for heaven so let me off of this train
