All Thats Left by Chatham County Line Lyrics

There’s a grave by the roadside no one tends it anymore
Crumbling headstone, letters faded and worn
Where lies an inscription you can hardly read
Saying “All that’s left of you, Is all that’s left of me”

A rich man can barter and deal through his days
But when he’s gone all that’s gold will stay
No matter who you are and what you do believe
One day all that’s left of you will be all that’s left of me

We go on living when our bodies meet the ground
How else can this mean old world keep spinning ‘round
So when there’s nothing left for this old body to prove
All that’s left of me will be all that’s left of you

There’s a grave by the roadside no one tends it anymore
Crumbling headstone, letters faded and worn
Where lies an inscription you can hardly read
Saying “All that’s left of you, Is all that’s left of me”
