The '59 Sound Lyrics
[00:20.09] Well I wonder which song they're gonna play when we go
[00:26.56] I hope it's something quiet and minor and peaceful and slow
[00:30.73] When we float out into the ether into the everlasting arms
[00:37.24] I hope we don't hear Marley's chains we forged in life
[00:41.35] 'Cause the chains I've been hearin' now for most of my life
[00:46.07] And the chains I've been hearin' now for most of my life
[00:49.05] Did you hear the '59 sound
[00:50.59] Coming through on Grandmama's radio?
[00:54.28] Did you hear the rattlin' chains
[00:56.84] In the hospital walls?
[00:58.67] Did you hear the old gospel choir
[01:01.81] When they came to carry you over?
[01:04.58] Did you hear your favorite song
[01:07.19] One last time?
[01:09.72] And I wonder, were you scared when the metal hit the glass?
[01:16.08] See I was playing a show down the road when your spirit left your body
[01:20.10] And they told me on the front lawn, I'm sorry I couldn't go
[01:26.85] But I still know the song and the words and her name and the reasons
[01:31.55] And I know 'cause we were kids and we used to hang
[01:36.06] And I know 'cause we were kids and we used to hang
[01:38.88] Did you hear the '59 sound
[01:40.68] Coming through on Grandmama's radio?
[01:43.95] Did you hear the rattlin' chains
[01:46.08] In the hospital walls?
[01:48.18] Did you hear the old gospel choir
[01:51.69] When they came to carry you over?
[01:54.34] Did you hear your favorite song
[01:57.03] One last time?
[01:59.28] Young boys, young girls
[02:04.87] Young boys, young girls
[02:10.72] Ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night
[02:15.68] Ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night
[02:18.72] Well they ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night
[02:21.67] Ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night
[02:24.61] Did you hear the '59 sound
[02:26.38] Coming through on Grandmama's radio?
[02:29.24] Did you hear the rattlin' chains
