I wrote this song just after visiting Shannon Hoon's gravesite in Dayton, Indiana. Shannon has been a huge source of inspiration to me in many ways, and this song is my tribute to him :)
lyrics
Wait, hey man, they took you away from us
That paper scratchin' man, gettin' high non-anonymously
And who's to say that you're not sittin' by his side right now
Your ever-loyal dog, we surmise you're singin' lullabies to god
Wait hey, wait hey, wait hey, wait hey...
Gettin' high and singin' lullabies to dog
We can dance, and we could sing
Yeah, when it come forth a-callin' out my name
But don't count on me droppin' by too long
I got a better lookin' view than an Indiana cemetery
Wait hey, wait hey, wait hey, wait hey...
Than an Indiana cemetery.
I come to visit just the other day my friend
Well, it's safe to say you're sittin' pretty
As I lay there just six feet up I knew
Well I'll carry ya with me every note and road
I go, I go, I go, I go
Well I'll carry ya with me every note and road
I must confess I'm in up hill battle still
Tryna keep myself from runnin' my life
But, as I lay there just six feet up I knew
Well I'll carry ya with me every note and road
I go, I go, I go, I go
Well I'll carry ya with me every note and road
I go, I go, I go, I go
Past every single Galaxy I stroll...
