Milo's Song

Young man, down in Louisiana With his whole life ahead of him Family wasn't rich, just trying to get by Just living life and making friends As the young man grew, boy, his heart did too He was gonna make a difference Finished high school and knew it was his time To go out into the distance Yeah he did 'Cause he knew Marsh grass dances when it feels the wind Changes happen so go with them A dog with fleas don't have many friends Keep on loving until the end He tried out college then became a Marine And he served our nation with pride In Savannah, GA, met a pretty young lady It was love at first sight Those two young lovers ran away to get married Started a family not too far behind He was faithful and true on his time away To his country and his wife Yeah he was 'Cause he remembered Marsh grass dances when it feels the wind Changes happen so go with them A dog with fleas don't have many friends Keep on loving until the end The young man grew to be old With his loving wife beside him He loved his family, three boys and three girls They all were just like him His big heart loved until the very end Then he went up to Heaven He had a grandson that played a guitar And wrote a song about him Yeah I did And I sing Marsh grass dances when it feels the wind Changes happen so go with them A dog with fleas don't have many friends Keep on loving until the end Marsh grass dances when it feels the wind Changes happen so go with them A dog with fleas don't have many friends Keep on loving until the end
