Lyrics of
Dearly Departed Friend

The service went the way it should have gone no one talked to loud or cried too long except your momma's new
boyfriend. He went on and on and on about the country and the hero you'd become.
Well Just about then a truck backfired and all the boys they flinched their heads. Yea it choked me
up I guess. Been home a month now and I still can't get no rest.
Standing by the grave of a dearly departed friend.
Nothing much to say except sorry it turned out like it did
Twenty-one guns for twenty-one years and American flags in the wind.
Standing by the grave of a dearly departed friend
verse 2: (you will have to figure out the timing on that third line, he crams a lot of words in)
Barbecue grills and lawnmowers kids on four-wheelers ice cream trucks Yea they buried you on a
Saturday, Georgia lost to Tennessee you would have liked that I know
Afterwards we went to OCharleys and your mommas boyfriend got drunk saying it should of been me well I wish it
was, him I mean so I went home and got drunk and watched the TV
Standing by the grave of a dearly departed friend.
Nothing much to say except sorry it turned out like it did
Twenty-one guns for twenty-one years and American flags in the wind.
Standing by the grave of a dearly departed friend
