[chorus:]
you were ruining my life and now you're dead and gone
you were a violent drunk and now you're dead and gone
the damage had been caused and now you're dead and gone
on the day of your funeral my life was reborn
the first time i saw you i could sense bad luck
it was eleven a.m. as you were drinking on my couch
and then you moved in like a terrential rain storm
you had nowhere to go but i knew where you were goin'
(chorus)
you smiled when i was home but you abused when i was gone
you hit my younger brothers and then you'd taunt me
and when i would confront you you'd say it was a lie
well i was at your funeral happy you have died
(chorus)
dead and gone(x8)
that night in the kitchen i trashed my house
there was a fist fight and i threw you out
and you were loaded with no place to go
so you blacked out and passed out in the snow
we got a phone call saying that you were dead
all the s*** you put me through raced through my head
you died on a dirty motel floor
now you can't make me suffer anymore
do you see what i see you were a violent drunk
do you see what i see you were ruining my life
do you see what i see the damage you have caused
on the day of your funeral my life was reborn
you were ruining my life and now you're dead and gone
you were a violent drunk and now you're dead and gone
the damage had been caused and now you're dead and gone
on the day of your funeral my life was reborn
the first time i saw you i could sense bad luck
it was eleven a.m. as you were drinking on my couch
and then you moved in like a terrential rain storm
you had nowhere to go but i knew where you were goin'
(chorus)
you smiled when i was home but you abused when i was gone
you hit my younger brothers and then you'd taunt me
and when i would confront you you'd say it was a lie
well i was at your funeral happy you have died
(chorus)
dead and gone(x8)
that night in the kitchen i trashed my house

and you were loaded with no place to go
so you blacked out and passed out in the snow

all the s*** you put me through raced through my head
you died on a dirty motel floor
now you can't make me suffer anymore
do you see what i see you were a violent drunk
do you see what i see you were ruining my life
do you see what i see the damage you have caused
on the day of your funeral my life was reborn
