(Chorus)
[Em]Cause you can't eat the dirt [Am]even if you wanna
[Em]Cause you can't eat the dirt [Am]even if you wanna
[Em]Cause you can't breathe the dirt [Am]even if you wanna
[C]But you'll be in th[D]e dirt, you'll be the dirt
(Verse)
[Em]Momma, I know I'm[Am] ready now
[Em]I'm not afraid, a[Am]nd you don't need to cry
[Em]Just close my eye[Am]s and wake up into a new life
[Em]Momma, there's no[Am] need to cry
(Chorus)
[Em]Because you can't eat the[Am] dirt even if you wanna
[Em]Cause you can't eat the d[Am]irt even if you wanna
[Em]Cause you can't breathe t[Am]he dirt even if you wanna
