Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When daddy told me what happened
I couldn't believe what he just said
Sonny shot himself with a .44
And they found him lying on his bed
[Verse 2]
I could not speak a single word no
Tears streamed down my face
I just sat there on the living room couch
Staring off into space
[Verse 3]
Momma and daddy went over to the house
To see what had to be done
They took the sheets off of the bed
And they went to call someone
[Verse 4]
Some of us gathered at a friend's house
To help each other ease the pain
I just sat alone in a corner chair
I couldn't say much of anything
[Verse 5]
We drove on out to the country
His friends all stood around
Subiaco Cemetery
That's where we laid him down
[Verse 6]
I saw his mama she was standing there
His sister she was there too
I saw them look at us standing around the grave
And not a soul they knew
[Verse 7]
Born and raised in Pineola
His momma believed in the Pentecost
She got the preacher to say some words
So his soul wouldn't be lost
[Verse 8]
Some of us we stood in silence
Some bowed their heads and prayed
I think I must've picked up a handful of dust
Then let it fall over his grave
I think I must've picked up a handful of dust
Then let it fall over his grave
