about

A country ballad about videogames.

lyrics

most of my life
was spent waiting in line
I should've known
that I'd die before my time
well you might've been
in my life or my bed
before I was dead.

in death I'd like a computer
with internet fast as sin
so I could log on in
and let my second life begin.
well there's a test into heaven
and here I'm in purgatory
I should've known like the rest of my life
the best I'd pull was a C.

'n if I'm resurrected
no apostles around my grave
just give me that controller
I'll pick up where I last saved
and I may have spent most of my life tied to a videogame
but if I'd done it any other way I'd probably have gone insane.

'n here I'm so tired
talking to these beggars and whores
but of course
my only worry is that someone is fucking my corpse
'n you may have great stories
and great wounds that you've bled
but I've got a whole new afterlife
to listen to someone interesting instead.
