Song For
Mirror image of his father before him
The notes flowed through his veins
A bottom so big you can still here it thunder
From the Opry stage
Worked his first master when he was just sixteen
The boy could slap a Kay
King Edward specials, on his lip and in his pocket
He smoked it every day
Chorus:
Hear the colors wrapped in flannel
Forever wedged in my mind
Hear the colors, no he ain’t crazy
Just run the number here’s the time
He was a brother, husband and father
A damn good man, a rambler and a friend
So here’s a song just to say farewell rest in peace
Until we pick again
Chorus:
Hear the colors wrapped in flannel
Forever wedged in my mind
Hear the colors, no he ain’t crazy
Just run the number here’s the time
Repeat chorus:
Hear the colors…
