Nashville Grass (For Woody)

Someone tell me, do you know
Where did Allen Woody go and were you there?
I was told with great remorse
He fell off his rocking horse and landed in his chair
Southern daylight hurts my eyes
Standing under southern skies as I stare
Somewhere down in Tennessee
The scene was all too much for me to bear
All my good friends, gather around
On the Nashville burial ground
Nashville grass that the sun burned brown
Ashes to ashes we all fall down
We all got to stand in the same judgement
For a lifetime lived and a lifetime spent
Nashville grass singing one more song
Carry him along, boys, carry him along
I saw these things come to pass
Standing on the Nashville grass
Standing in the Sunday suit
I saw his own black cowboy boots
Tell me someone, do you know
Where did Allen Woody go and were you there?
Were you there?
I was there
Nashville grass that the sun burned brown
Ashes to ashes we all fall down
We all got to stand in the same judgement
For a lifetime lived and a lifetime spent
Nashville grass singing one more song
Carry him along, boys, carry him along
I saw these things come to pass
Standing on the Nashville grass
