Biography:
Growing up in a small southeastern Missouri town, David Nail might’ve chosen to follow any of the dreams that drifted by like the riverboats on the mighty Mississippi: but in the end, it was music that called his name. “I was definitely more into sports growing up,” says the Midwest native, “I think I was expected to play in college, but as I grew older I became more interested in music. After my senior year, I had a few small college offers to play baseball.

[Intro]
C F/C x4
C
All gathered 'round in our Sunday best
After the service on them old church steps
F C F
Congregation spilling into the streets
C
Ain't it funny how the preacher's words
Disappear out here on the curb
F C
Once the weight of an old friend's body and your hands meet
Am
Tending bar up in Syracuse
G
Momma called when she got the news
C F
Hell, I don't know who she'll miss more, you or me
C
No, it didn't feel real, no not 'til now
G
Behind this long black Lincoln in our little town
F G C
Rolling by buildings I never thought again I'd see
[Chorus]
F G C Am
And I can't help but think about all that we could have been
F G C Am
Had you not stayed here and settled for a life with him
F G Am
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
F G C C
Buried is the secret that was us
C
I can still see you standing there
Swollen eyes and snow in your hair
F G C
And your shaking voice say you couldn't get past the shame
C
Eight weeks into a nine month ride
Either way it's still a lie
F G C
Carrying your child with another man's name
[[Chorus]
F G C Am
And I can't help but think about all that we could have been
F G C Am
Had you not stayed here and settled for a life with him
F G Am
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
F G C C
Buried is the secret that was us
[Solo]
/// Am F G
Am G
I walk up and shake his hand, tell him just how sorry I am
C F
And what I wouldn't give to have you back
C G
I wonder if you're looking down on all who is gathered 'round
F G C
Knowing one day I too will find peace
[Chorus]
F G C Am
And I can't help but think about all that we could have been
F G C Am
Had you not stayed here and settled for a life with him
F G Am
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
