Buried Alive Lyrics - Mel Tillis

When she left I locked the door and pulled the shades 

Now I'm living in a six room grave 

All my reasons for living have died so I'm living buried alive 

I just exist with nothing but sorrow I don't know if it's today or tomorrow 

I'm through living with the world outside so I'm living buried alive 

I just can't believe she's gone I've been too weak to cry 

Now I sit and wait for teardops to fill my lonely eyes 

My headstone is just a mailbox on the street 

And the flowers she planted make it complete 

Now this home is like a grave inside so I'm living buried alive 

[ steel ] 

Yes I'm living buried alive
