Fly Away

One earth's most gentle human beings I love to watch him widle on his cane Each morning you could find him on his front porch Just living all his memories up in vain Spent most his life in some old local factory A place he didn't matter you could say We were just the children of his nieces But he'd follow us around on saturdays As we played dinosaurs He'd make slingshots bows and swords Seem like it was the perfect getaway They'll never make his life into a movie You'll never see his name on east broadway But if gods a god at all Next time they'll stand him tall Or make him be a bird to fly away By the time that I was grown he was an old man And he'd gave away more then he ever made Kentucky Best cigars would keep him company And he'd sit and smoke them quite in the shade He always like to tell us about his wild days Its funny how they never seem to be Sometimes I'd go visit just to listen I never really needed much to say Then he'd tell me goodbye Shake my hand and wink his eye Seem like he always wanted me to stay And they'll never make his life into a movie And you'll never see his name on east broadway But if gods a god at all Next time they'll stand him tall Or make him be a bird to fly away Some Day I hope you never worry more You never have a single chore And you will be the one to sing and Some day I hope you get to fly around Pirch on a tree and sing real loud And you will be the perfect one some day
