lyrics

He made wine but what made money
Grandpa’s plum brandy still
I’d hand brown paper bags tagged with tiny swiss flags
Out the back door for five dollar bills
The summer the corn all went weavile
The year Fred Hampton was killed.
My best friend back then said we’d be the coolest old men
there’s no way we will

I love what you’ve done with the garden
What you’re doing for that girl
Like warm arms darling
Your warm smile
Warmest thing in my world

No rain for three months
My tongue weighs a ton
The skys a dry scary blue
Mike said man we’ll be as cool as him
Nothing mike said back then turned out true

Worlds got a brand new baby
I lie awake listen to her bawl
Must feel a lot like flying
Must feel a lot like flying
Must feel like flying
To just let go and fall

Mike broke down his dads riding mower
Parts for my mini bike
Built a ramp. Mike jumped the dog house
And my sister Sioban sitting on her trike
Boy was wild. went in the army
Aiming for the gi Bill
Kept his legs and arms through Vietnam
But the wild in that wild boy got killed.
He said Sean when you gonna grow up
Nothing you care about’s real
He’s burn mark on his forehead
Where I pressed him against the still
The summer the corn went weevil
The year the tribe burned Duluth
He’d tell all our friends we’d be the coolest old me
Nothing mike said back then turned out true.

Worlds got a brand new baby
I lie awake listen to her bawl
Must feel a lot like flying
Must feel a lot like flying
Must feel like flying
To just let go and fall

4 boys carried grandpas casket
Tallest two me and mike
He got a good beaten for the mower
We had a great week on my mini bike
I’m not friendly at all with his family
All they do is talk about him
The airs nice and clear up there
Where we put Grandpa
since they quit timbering

No rain for two months
My tongue ways a ton
The skys a dry scary blue
Haven’t told you in a while
Warm arms. Your smile
Been a while
I Been meaning to.
