Lyrics
Flesh and Bones
Don't bother buryin me underneath a big Oak tree
Don't waste your time trying to find a cool spot for me to spend eternity
Cause when I'm finally I nhope that you can see
In the box there's only flesh and bone it was my soul that made it me
CHORUS
And my soul's gonna fly above the eagle in the sky
Into my Father's hands who will deliver me to heavens door
Friends and neighbors please don't grieve don't waste your tears on me
Cause the flesh and bones ain't gonna hold me back no more
Don't bother to pity me cause I never had fortune and fame
Cause the Lord will look in his golden book and there He'll find my name
The best that you can do for me is to stay away from sin
And you free yourselves from flesh and bone we'll see each other again
CHORUS
And your soul's gonna fly above the eagle in the sky
Into your Father's hands who will deliver you to heaven's door
Friends and neighbors they may grieve but hopefully they'll believe
That the flesh and bones aint gonna hold us back no more
No the flesh and bones ain't gonna hold us back no more
