I see them smiling as they glance upon my grave
They're in stitches over nines I tried to save
When I was living they said I was just no good
But now I'm six feet understood
Rhymes and reasons that went in and out their ears
Finally mean something after all these years
A message finds its home like you hoped it would
When it's six feet understood
Now they know the road's as long as I described
And they've come to learn every story has two sides
And they'd shake my hand if they only could
But I'm six feet understood
All in all everything turned out fine
'Cause anybody's hands work as well as mine
Just as long as they remember and they should
'Cause it's six feet understood
Now they know the road's as long as I described
And they've come to learn every story has two sides
And they'd shake my hand if they only could
But I'm six feet understood
Life's sure funny when your home is brass and wood
And you're six feet understood
