"Pine Box" lyrics - PAUL WESTERBERG
He never hit my mama
Hit that beach at Omaha
He never hit my mama
But hit that beach at Omaha
He lived - not gonna tell
About a goddamn thing he saw
Pine box and a white stone
Pine box and a free ride home
He had a pine box and a white stone
Baby brother laid before he had a chance to crawl
Baby brother got laid before he had a chance to crawl
[?] And he's there on Iwo Jima
Pine box and a white stone
Pine box and a free ride home
Pine box and a white stone
Pine box
Ain't afraid of dying
Living has got him stumped
Stand before God
He kneeled down in front
Ain't afraid of dying
Living has got him stumped
Stand before God
He kneeled down in front
Pine box and a white stone
Pine box and a free ride home
Pine box and a white stone
He always took it slow
He always took it slow
Now there's fluid in his lungs
Always took it slow
Now there's fluid in his lungs
The HMO says "no, no, no, you're done."
Daddy's on his way to visit for the second time
Daddy's on his way to visit for the second time
The soldier cemetery where my baby sisters lie
In a pine box and a white stone
Pine box and a free ride home
Pine box and a white stone
Toughest Mother Fucker that I ever ought to know
Pine box
Pine box
