[Verse 1] The mountain's buried in snow The preacher's on the run He left a long time ago He was a bad son of a gun [Verse 2] I've got a couple friends in the graveyard They say I'm a good girl But I don't know who you are And I don't know what you did But you had a kid [Chorus] And she says "Dad? Happy you're dead Wish you well" And she says "Dad? Happy you're dead I hope you're doin' well I hope you're doin' well I hope you're doin' well I hope you're doin' well I hope you're doin' well I hope you're doin' well I hope you're doin' well I hope you're doin' well I hope you're doin' well" [Verse 3] Mom keeps your box in the closet Full of letters never sent All the whiskey on your breath Still stains the rent But I wear your old black jacket Like a ghost around my spine Try to walk a different road But I still step in your lines [Verse 4] They say, "Forgive, it'll free ya" Like it's easy as a prayer But the child you left behind Is still waitin' in that chair I put flowers on your stone Just to prove that I'm alive Talk to you like you can hear Ask you why you never tried [Chorus] And I say "Dad? Happy you're dead Wish you well" And I say "Dad? Happy you're dead I hope you're doin' well I hope you're doin' well I hope you're doin' well I hope you're doin' well I hope you're doin' well I hope you're doin' well I hope you're doin' well I hope you're doin' well I hope you're doin' well" [Bridge] If you'd stayed, would I be better Or just broken in a different way? Would I still flinch at every shadow Or learn to love the light of day? All the questions with no answers Keep on runnin' through my head But the only thing I'm sure of Is I'm safer now you're dead [Chorus] And I say "Dad? Happy you're dead Wish you well" And I say "Dad? Happy you're dead I hope you're doin' well I hope you're doin' well I hope you're doin' well I hope you're doin' well I hope you're doin' well I hope you're doin' well I hope you're doin' well I hope you're doin' well I hope you're doin' well"
