Shovel in Hand

Life can change in the blink of an eye

You don't know when and you don't know why

"Forever Young" is a big fat lie

For the one who lives and the one who dies

I watched my son - shovel in hand

Go from bulletproof boy to a full-grown man

The cool dark dirt on the casket lands

Nineteen years old and he's buryin' a friend

Oh, goodbye two boys, hello one man

This son of mine is gonna leave in the fall

Some might ask how he stands so tall

His life was changed with a telephone call

Not even he understands it all

I watched my son - shovel in hand

Go from bulletproof boy to a broken man

The cool dark dirt on the casket lands

Nineteen years old and he's buryin' a friend

Oh, goodbye two boys, hello one man

I watched my son - shovel in hand

Go from bulletproof boy to a full-grown man

The cool dark dirt on the casket lands

Nineteen years old and he's buryin' a friend

Oh, goodbye two boys,

Oh, goodbye two boys,

Oh, goodbye my boys
