Lyrics Neon Tombstone - The Wood Brothers

Neon Tombstone

I see the backbone of a thin man
Ribs comin' out of his chest
Got the same troubles as a tin man
His heart is a rusted mess
He keeps chasing those bomb shells
With a painted on smile
They don’t give it him the time of day
But that’s the full reason he cries
He cries
When I die I want to be sent back to try, try again
When I die I want to be sent back to try, try again
Because I’m not ready to let go of her pain
I’m not ready for heaven so let me off of this train
He said he wants a neon tombstone
When it’s his time to go
Said he hate to be forgotten
When he is six feet below
And if you try to love him
He won’t stay
Like’s his love from a distance
He will just push you away
And he will say
When I die I want to be sent back to try, try again
When I die I want to be sent back to try, try again
Because I’m not ready to let go
Of the pain
And I’m not ready for heaven
So let me off of this train
When I die I want to be sent back to try, try again
When I die I want to be sent back to try, try again
Because I’m not ready to let go
Of the pain
And I’m not ready for heaven
So let me off this train
Let me off this train
I’m not ready for heaven
So let me off this train
