Lessons of the Dead Cliff Preston / Jordan Merritt ... The Band Table - Digital Album
Verse 1
We were livin' livin' like there’s nothing but time.
It was crazy and scary and a little bit wild.
We were searchin' searchin' for another high
Disappointed all our mothers and we made them cry.

Chorus 1
But time brings a little wisdom
And time helps me understand.
And now that I’ve done a little listenin'
I can almost hear the lessons of the dead.

Verse 2
After sunrise we would say our morning prayer.
We would kiss our momma bye and then we’d live like hell.
Oh I hated hated all the rules she gave
'Cause I thought that it’d be better if I did my way.

Verse 3
And now now that I got my own son
Got a little perspective and a lot more love.
I can hear everything my momma said
And I hope he’ll do life better than I did.
And I hope he’ll do life better than I did.

Chorus 2
'Cause now I’ve got a little wisdom
And now I finally understand.
Oh God I really hope he listens
And I hope he hears the lesson before I’m dead.

Chorus 3
'Cause now I’ve got a little wisdom
And now I finally understand.
Oh God I really hope he listens
And I hope he hears the lesson before I’m dead.
