Sleeping In The Ground Lyrics

[Pre-Chorus]
I would rather see you
Sleeping in the ground
I would rather see you
Sleeping in the ground
Than to stay around here
If you are going to put me down

[Chorus]
Well, I give you all my money
Everything I own
Well, I give you all my money
Everything I own
Well, someday I am going to get lucky
And down the road you know I am going

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
