Sipsco's Best

by Scott Stutzman

[Verse 1]
Oh, I died inside a mine upon the first o' June
They watched the gravel fall onto my head
There wasn't anything that anyone could do
You livin' for the boss and then you're dead
Hoh, I swear to God I tried to turn my life around
But everytime it still wound up a mess
I was born to live and die beneath the ground
So bury me underneath Sips
Co's Best

[Verse 2]
I spent the best years of my life digging a hole
A tunnel that did not begin or end
And once we met the quota for the fiscal year
We choose another spot and start again
Yeah wheels of progress turning make a funny sound
A sound that used to pump blood to my chest
I was born to live and die beneath the ground
So bury me underneath Sips
Co's Best

[Bridge]
If I had another choice it was too dark to see
God himself dropped me into the mine
Money, Women, Fun, that's what they promised me!
And all they gave me was a broken spi-ine!

[Verse 3]
Don't
Be
Sur-
Prised if you go mining and you happen on
A skeleton with a pickaxe and a spade
I never leave the site until the job is done
I'm just working overtime inside my grave
And if I wake in Heaven on a bed o' clouds
I'd forsake the harp an' halo an' all the rest
I was born to live and die beneath the ground
So bury me underneath Sips
Co's Best
