[Verse 1]
Started from the start
Wearing out the headstones
Was the end, was the right
Taking out a life loan

[Chorus]
Hey, old man
When I'm going six feet down
You gotta make that promise to me
A stained glass cross lay behind my head

[Verse 2]
When taken by the undertaker
No questions anymore
It's higher than the black sky
Get you lower than the floor

[Chorus]
Hey, old man
When I'm going six feet down
You gotta make that promise to me
A stained glass cross looking down on me

Hey, old man
When I'm going six feet down
You gotta make that promise to me
A stained glass cross hanging over me
[Verse 3]
I was just a young boy
My father sounded crazy
My death, he couldn't bear to see
Either joking, sleeping, lazy

[Chorus]
Hey, old man
When you're going six feet down
I gotta make that promise to you
A stained glass cross lay behind your head

Hey, old man
When you're going under and down
I made a sacred promise to you
A stained glass cross looking down on you
