Nashville Grass (For Woody) Lyrics

Someone tell me, do you know Where did Allen Woody go and were you there? I was told with great remorse He fell off his rocking horse and landed in his chair Southern daylight hurts my eyes Standing under southern skies as I stare Somewhere down in Tennessee The scene was all too much for me to bear All my good friends, gather around On the Nashville burial ground Nashville grass that the sun burned brown Ashes to ashes we all fall down We all got to stand in the same judgement For a lifetime lived and a lifetime spent Nashville grass singing one more song Carry him along, boys, carry him along I saw these things come to pass Standing on the Nashville grass Standing in the Sunday suit I saw his own black cowboy boots Tell me someone, do you know Where did Allen Woody go and were you there? Were you there? I was there Nashville grass that the sun burned brown Ashes to ashes we all fall down We all got to stand in the same judgement For a lifetime lived and a lifetime spent Nashville grass singing one more song Carry him along, boys, carry him along I saw these things come to pass Standing on the Nashville grass
