Chris Smither - All About the Bones

Consider your high station
Think about your fame
All of your creation depended on your fate
Ain’t no doubt about it
Flesh can set the tone
But when you get to the rhythm you get right down to the bone

All about the bones (4x)

Some will make you stronger
Others make you tall
But don’t make no bones about it man some don’t work at all
Some will make you ugly
Others make you smile
It don’t matter they all clatter when they end up on the pines

All about the bones (4x)

Grim reaper comes a calling
Says its time to go
You say ok I’m coming yea you’re moving mighty slow
Then you say I don't belong here
They told me I was saved
He points one boney finger he says get back in your grave

All about the bones (4x)
Now down at the graveyard
You got to have some stone
With your names and all your numbers but there ain’t nobody home
They say here lies the body
Body there’ll be none
He used to be somebody now he’s nothing but the bones

All about the bones (4x)

Right from the beginning
It was all about the bones
