Another Shot At That Red Head

Just try not to let life walk right by your cage; bite that motherfucker.

One More Shot At That Red Head
Dedicated to my father.

When I think of you
Up in a corner where your
Spirit hangs
You and some red head that crossed your mind
Batting eye lashes over some green eyes
And you two just sway to the sound
Of your beating heart
Pumping so far away in this hospital room
Thanks for leaving some music so that we don't have to just sit here in the silence
I've thought of what I would say to you
To your last tune
I tried it all.
I said I love you and thank you and goodbye and I'll never forget you and that you were so strong and how you lived so good.
But none of that ever needed to be said and
Neither did anything else
After all, what do you say to the man who
Gave you everything?
I had my foot down and I made record speed
I said hi and I cried but not like the day I realized I was your son and the grey sky smiled and the truth came.
But how's that redhead?
Careful Pa,
I didn't like the last one.
