Until They Put Me Down
Took the boat across the lake
Pulled into our slip
Said hi to Mike and Rusty
Dennis, Dave and all the rest
Listened to the song
Sung by men we love
Watched Reilly play before the stage
Took communion at the bar
Sang with Ray and Robert Earl
Gurf and Steve and Merle
Guy and Van and Jimmy B
You Red Neck Mother, Mother we have known so well
Took some shrapnel at the Bay of Pigs
Lost two fingers on a Gulf oil rig
Stopped half way back
Peed starboardside with Reilly at my hip
Drink 'til all the drink is done
Eat 'til all the food is gone
Sing 'til all the songs are sung
Love 'til they put me down.
Until they put me down.
