The Graves Lyrics by Reagan Boggs

Empty Glasses

2016

Don’t let them move the graves
Don’t let them move the graves
There’ll be no rest tonight
She haunts me in my dreams
When I close my eyes
When I close my eyes
I can hear her worried voice saying
Don’t let em
Don’t let em move the graves
Now Mom refused to sell our land
Said she never would
When they bought the farms all around her
She held out as long as she could
When the men came to her house
To pressure her once more
She wouldn’t sign the papers
Until they had swore
Don’t let them move the graves
Don’t let them move the graves
There’ll be no rest tonight
She haunts me in my dreams
When I close my eyes
When I close my eyes
I can hear her worried voice saying
Don’t let em
Don’t let em move the graves
The top soil is turned under
The trees are all bulldozed
The hills are gone with my childhood home
They’ve stripped all the coal
There are only dying flowers
And a veteran’s flag waving
Stuck in the dirt above
Those who are still there lying
Don’t let them move the graves
Don’t let them move the graves
There’ll be no rest tonight
She haunts me in my dreams
When I close my eyes
When I close my eyes
I can hear her worried voice saying
Don’t let em
Don’t let em move the graves
My family was poor farmers
Worked this land for a hundred years
And buried in that ground
Is their blood sweat and tears
Don’t let them move the graves
Don’t let them move the graves
There’ll be no rest tonight
She haunts me in my dreams
When I close my eyes
When I close my eyes
I can hear her worried voice saying
Don’t let em
Don’t let em move the graves
Don’t let them move the graves
Don’t let them move the graves
Don’t let em
Don’t let em move the graves
