[Verse 1]
She left me in the darkness all alone
She abandoned all the good times and the love i thought we had

[Chorus]
I'm like a lonesome pallbearer walking down the aisle
Traveling to the graveyard, counting down the miles
With every earth-filled shovel, they dig that eternal bed
I'm like a lonesome pallbearer, carrying the dead
Carrying the dead

[Verse 2]
She don't call me and she don't try to
And my praying can't bring her back
My eyes are wide open, watching my future fade to black

[Chorus]
I'm like a lonesome pallbearer walking down the aisle
Traveling to the graveyard, counting down the miles
With every earth-filled shovel, they dig that eternal bed
I'm like a lonesome pallbearer, carrying the dead
Carrying the dead

[Verse 3]
I've pondered trading places with the man laying in that hearse
I've tried to hold my head up but her leaving is like a curse
[Chorus]
I'm like a lonesome pallbearer walking down the aisle
Traveling to the graveyard, counting down the miles
With every earth-filled shovel, they dig that eternal bed
I'm like a lonesome pallbearer, carrying the dead
Carrying the dead
Carrying the dead
