Lean Back
Whispertown2000 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lean back, lean back, lean back, wine
Throwin' back a six pack in the afterlife
Lean back, lean back, lean back, wine
Spirits all the time
Piano all dressed in white
Sway and play your blues away
In the afterlife
Piano man dressed in white
Singin', playin' judgement day away
Oh, clouds beneath your feet, or the heat
Grandma, grandpa, by your side
Spot his wagging tail in the afterlife
Grandma, grandpa, by your side
Spirits all the time
Oh, clouds beneath your feet, or the heat
Oh it is like California
'cause i'll sure miss the ocean
I'm not good with the hear
Oh once you're in, do you stay there?
Do your sins turn to thin air?
Do you just disappear?
Lean back, lean back, lean back, wine
Throwin' back a six pack in the afterlife
Lean back, lean back, lean back, wine
Spirits all the time
Piano all dressed in white
Sway and play your blues away




In the afterlife 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
Singin', playin' judgement day away
