The Dead Don't Die Lyrics - Sturgill Simpson

[Verse 1] 

Oh, the dead don't die 

Anymore than you or I 

They're just ghosts inside a dream 

Of a life that we don't own 

They walk around sometimes 

Never payin' any mind 

To the silly lives we lead 

Or the reaping we've all sown 

[Chorus] 

There's a cup of coffee waiting on every corner 

Someday we're gonna wake up and find the corner's gone 

But the dead will still be walking 'round this ol' world alone 

Oh, well after life is over the afterlife goes on

[Verse 2] 

There'll be old friends walking 'round 

In a somewhat-familiar town 

That you saw once when you looked up from your phone 

Nobody bothers saying "hi" 

And you can save all your goodbyes 

Stop trying to pretend that we're all not alone 

[Chorus 2] 

And the streets look so empty in the morning 

There'll be no one out at night for the lights to shine down on 

But the dead'll still be walking 'round in this old world alone 

Oh, well after life is over the afterlife goes on 

[Bridge] 

Hearts break when loved ones journey on 

At the thought that they're now forever gone 

So we tell ourselves they're all still around us all the time 

Gone but not forgotten, just memories left behind 

Photos 

[Outro] 

But the dead'll still be walking 'round in this old world alone 

Oh, well after life is over the afterlife goes on 

Oh, well after life is over the afterlife goes on
