We're taking the car to Abe's today
To fill out some documents
Skinny as a rail but boy could he paint
Lord those talents will be missed
He's bedridden and so very cold
But he still had the breath to say
He wants to be burned and sprinkled out
But his stone had all but the day
And we lose him that very night
We divided his ashes to sprinkle out
On White Rock and Scarlet Oak
Abeline's upset 'cause the body's gone
But the cemetery's so expensive
He's survived by his wife and kids
And he loved them with all his heart
He's dropped onto a grassy plain
And his bride just falls apart
And dies the very next day
Years later I take the car
And drive around his old town
In the back of my heart, I feel a stir
From him and everyone dead now
And I just couldn't avoid
Pullin' the car over
And layin' on the wheel
With my head and eyes covered
Rememberin' his shinin' face
