Death Bed:
He said the devil made him do it
Put him up to it
Now he’s trying to right all his wrongs
He said “You can’t make a living just living”
“No, a man’s gotta take what he’s not given”
Daddy’s on his death bed
Telling me to lean in close
When daddy’s on his death bed
You know he’s gonna tell the truth
He said, “Son, I got one last request:”
“Don’t bury me where your mother rests”
It was the last thing he said,
On his death bed
He said, “Your momma was in on it”
“But she was no convict”
“Just an accomplice for love”
She said, "You can’t love a man without loving
Each and everyone of his burdens"
And I kept my word
Buried him far from where momma was
You see momma never died
Just ran off with the old man’s pride

The kind of album that accompanies any night out on the town, backyard BBQ, kitchen floor dance session, drunken stooper, next day hangover. Southern party rock and roll. Any fan of Lucero should eat this up! Bucky
