Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Dying now's a nice
way to end a long life
The first to come and the last to leave
Broke her back so we could eat
And I had to cry when I got the call
Her heart quit beating and the tears won't stop
And she's gone
Another newborn
Can we send a song up to heaven
Tell God I miss my kin
I've been making my best effort to make amends
And if you want me there with you, just let me know when
Got the gun to my head, now I'm questioning
Life's a ride that I'd never ride again
But if you call me home, I'd hop the next train
So call me home
If you're gone
Another newborn
Dying to smile
Dying to smile
Another newborn
Dying now's a nice way to end a long life
The first to come and the last to leave
Broke her back so we could eat
And I had to cry when I got the call
Her heart quit beating and the tears won't stop
And she's gone
Another newborn
Mama kept a Bible in the drawer by the bed
Wild flowers from the song she read
Said her body's just a house for the soul to roam
Said the wind sounds different when it calls you home
I was knee deep fighting every demon I had
Trying to be more like her, trying not to be dad
But the mountains don't care about the pain you hold
They echo every truth you never told
And I swear last night I heard her hum
That old hymn about kingdom come
Made me drop my head and bite my tongue
Some songs ain't meant for the young
Dying now's a nice way to end a long life
The first to come and the last to leave
Broke her back so we could eat
And I had to cry when I got the call
Her heart quit beating and the tears won't stop
And she's gone
Another newborn
If heaven's real, save me a place
Set my chair right beside your grace
When my heartbeat slows and my breath gets torn
I'll meet you there
Another newborn
Another newborn
Another newborn
