He had a Martin I had a Fender, we were thirteen years of age
Out back in the tool shed, we were searchin? for the same
Everyday all through that summer, we?d rock n roll and rage
All the neighbors kept complainin?, but it never slowed us down.
We sang Three Verses of Dixie, Can't Get No Satisfaction
Rainy Women Numbers 12 and 35
Try A Little Tenderness, A Whiter Shape Of Pale
Turn Turn Turn, For What It's Worth, Long Black Veil.
Moved out to California, shootin? for the stars
The biggest thing since Elvis, nothin? could go wrong
But they took us for all our money, and everything else we owned
So we got ourselves some whiskey, and we drank it all night long.
We sang Three Verses of Dixie, Can't Get No Satisfaction
Rainy Women, and A Bad Moon On The Rise
Try A Little Tenderness, A Whiter Shape Of Pale
Turn Turn Turn, For What It's Worth, Long Black Veil.
Oh we never quite got over it, we when out separate ways
He traded in his music for cocaine nights, and reckless days
Still I knew he always wanted, to make one last journey home.
Near a small white church in the valley, beneath a wooden bridge
Patiently we waited, on that cold Alabama rain
Then the preacher started preachin?, about lives and about our times
The sun was slowly sinkin?, as we laid his body down.
We sang Three Verses of Dixie, What a Friend We Have In Jesus
Walkin? In The Garden, and The Old Rugged Cross
Try A Little Tenderness, A Whiter Shape Of Pale
Turn Turn Turn, For What It's Worth, Long Black Veil.
