Love In the Afterlife
by Mark Mathis

Album: We Both Was Young

you were on fire so bearably hot
you burned much brighter and then you burned out
did you really think you'd go on forever

the women all cried when you tied the knot
senators and congressmen sent their regards
and your wedding shut down a city block

i hope that you find love in the afterlife

your wife had a son and she gave him your name
your friends say that you and he look just the same
but he don't have the hunger you had at his age

i hope that you find love in the afterlife

your son made a record and it made him a star
but mostly because people know who you are
does he resent you - maybe he's got the right to

i hope that you find love in the afterlife
