lyrics

I was barely ten years old
early in the month of May
and I remember the things they used to say
and how it's never been the same
since he passed away.
it's never been the same.
Few stand strong
for so many years.
There we saw the foundation
of a well lived man.
Deserving of so much more, but very little was given.
The passing of a man whose heart was right;
And all the people cursed his name.
They buried him beside the highway
in that old cemetery near the tracks.
And I still look that way
when I drive by.
Sometimes I stop and pray
to a God that I hope knows my name.
