Losing in front
of your home crowd
You wished the ground
would open up and
take you down
and will time never pass
Will time never pass
for us
Your weary wife
is walking away
Your nephew is true
well he thinks
the world of you
and I have to
close my eyes
Losing in front
of your home town
The crowd call your name
they love you
all the same
The sound the smell
and the spray
you will take them
all away
and they'll stay
'til the grave
Your weary wife
is walking away
Your nephew is true
well he thinks
the world of you
and I have to
close my eyes
Losing in your home town
Hell is the bell
that will not ring again
You will return one day
Oh because of
all the things
that you see
when your eyes close
Your weary wife
is walking away
Your nephew is true
he still thinks
the world of you
and I have to dry my eyes
