about

A song I wrote about a dearly departed friend, shortly after his wake.

lyrics

The most cockamamie soul, this old boy will ever know,
May be gone, but not from yesterday
His big ol' bright blue eyes, they couldn't tell no lies,
So he used his shades, hid his truth away

And as his story grew, well I hope like hell he knew,
He was loved through all his too short years,
And in mourning now, our love is pouring out,
In whiskey, and gin, and scotch, and beers

So I'll drink hard, And I'll love harder,
Won't condemn, try not to judge,
Lord I'll laugh 'til I'm horse, Live without remorse,
If I'm wronged, well, I won't begrudge,
I'll tell my story to the world, I'll live a life without regret,
And long as I live, I'll try to forgive,
But never, no never, will I forget

He'd offer up his time, both his dollar and his dime,
To anybody who could use a hand,
He'd lend you both his ears, ease away your fears,
Get your sad-sack ass to laugh again,

He'd gather up your hurt, bury it in the dirt,
And curse the Earth, to make sure it didn't rise,
His mouth may have been smart, but he had a gentle heart,
And he was as profane as he was wise,

With a roar, that hung like rollin thunder
And a laugh to chase the lightning from the sky

Now silence has taken it's place,
Time's left it's mark on my face,
And he'd hate to know just how often
We're all askin' why

And so I'll drink hard, And I'll love harder,
Won't condemn, will try not to judge,
I'll laugh 'til I'm horse, Live without remorse,
If I'm wronged, well, I won't begrudge,
I'll tell his story to the world,
I'll live a life without regret,
And long as I live, I'll try to forgive,
But never, no never, will I forget

No I won't forget

Sure as hell I won't forget

Tell you what son,

How the hell could I ever forget?
