You Ain’t Gotta Die (to Be Dead to Me) Songtext
von Kaitlin Butts

My mama taught me when I was a girl
If a man is a problem
Take him out of your world
Leave room for the sunshine
And no room for clouds
Just pretend he′s no longer around
And say
You ain't gotta die to be dead to me
You ain′t gotta die to be dead to me
Well, you ain't gotta be six feet deep
Pushing up daisies up through concrete
Nah, you ain't gotta die to be dead to me
He was a drinkin′ and a hollerin′ and you know how that goes
He was talkin' to women that mama don′t know
So when they surely asked me
"How's your daddy been?"
I said, "Who? I have never heard of him..."
You know, I think I have heard of that man
I think, I think I heard he got runned over by a train
Mauled by a bear


Maybe? Hopefully
You ain′t gotta die to be dead to me
You ain't gotta die to be dead to me
Well, you ain′t gotta be six feet deep
Pushing up daisies up through concrete
Nah, you ain't gotta die to be dead to me
Oh, nah
So, here is your first and your final warning
There won't be no car wrecks
Or rat poisoning
So, if you cross the line
Oh, there won′t be no crime
I′ll just say adios
Or sayonara
Well, bye
You ain't gotta die to be dead to me
You ain′t gotta die to be dead to me
Well, you ain't gotta be six feet deep
Pushing up daisies up through concrete
Mauled by a bear, stung by a bee
Clip your toenails and get gangrene
No, you ain′t gotta die to be dead to me
