Pine Box Songtext
von Paul Westerberg

He never hit my momma, he hit that HMO
He never hit my momma, but hit that HMO
He lived not to tell about a goddamn thing he saw

Pine box and a white stone
Pine box and a free ride home
Yeah, a pine box and a white stone

Baby brother laid before he had a chance to draw
Baby brother got laid before he had a chance to claw
He came and he stayed and he stared and he woke G ma

Pine box and a white stone
Pine box and a free ride home
Pine box and a white stone
Pine box

Ain′t afraid of dyin', livin′ scarred and stumped
Stand before God and you're down in front
Ain't afraid of dyin′, livin′ scarred and stumped
Stand before God and you're down in front
Get ′em, now


Pine box and a white stone
Pine box and a free ride home
Pine box and a white stone

He always took it slow
He always took it slow, now there's fluid in his lungs
Always took it slow, now there′s fluid in his lungs
The HMO says, "No, no, no, you're done"

Daddy′s on his way to visit for the second time
Daddy's on his way to visit for the second time
Soldier cemetery where my baby sisters lie

In a pine box and a white stone
Pine box and a free ride home
In a pine box and a white stone


Toughest motherfucker that I ever known
Pine box
Pine box
Pine box
Pine box
Pine box
Pine box
Pine box
Pine box
Pine box
Pine box
