Too Sweet to Die Lyrics by Waco Brothers

​...To The Last Dead Cowboy

1995

To the devil and all his cockroaches
We'll raise our glass today
But before we sip this poison wine
We will kneel and pray
The pastor says come and get it
The drugs and the money's right here
But where was he
When I needed him
A downtown drink and beer
We're too sweet to die
We'll be buried alive
The lipstick on my shirt says
We're too sweet to die
You threw me out of the limo
I fell and smashed my head
Stumbled to the watеr
And sank to the river bed
Down thеre with the roots and weeds
Was dragged along for awhile
Hell like chilly winters
At night all the hunter's style
But up up up goes love
And down down down goes hate
You left me up at the garden
And left me by the pearly gates
We're too sweet to die
We'll be buried alive
The lipstick on my shirt says
We're too sweet to die
But up up up goes love
And down down down goes hate
You left me up at the garden
And left me by the pearly gates
We're too sweet to die
We'll be buried alive
The lipstick on my shirt says
We're too sweet to die
The writing on my grave says
We're too sweet to die
