Dead Man's Coat

from Stray by St. Peter's Dog

lyrics

Baby, don’t you miss me?
I’m in Mississippi
Drinking in a dead man’s coat

Struck milk and honey
In non-consecutive 20’s
Stashed in a dead man’s coat

Tell the kids
We’re done eating rabbits
Daddy’s got a dead man’s coat

You gotta see this thing
I look just like Jesse James
Struttin’ in a dead man’s coat

Downed by the river
The river once raised to save me
Downed by the river
The river once raised to save me

Green eyes from the locket
I found in the pocket
In nothin’ but a dead man’s coat

Twirlin’ ‘round the room
To a George Jones tune
Twenty-somethin’ in a dead man’s coat

Got sidetracked
But baby, I’ll be back
Like a savior in a dead man’s coat

You’ve got to see this thing
It’s got big bone buttons
Seven—on a dead man’s coat

Downed by the river
The river once raised to save me
Downed by the river
The river once raised to save me
