Another Good Man Gone
 
 Reluctant hero of the family
 his life played out like a tragedy
 a music-man was all he claimed to be
 
 a flash of brilliance like a shooting star
 etched in your mind for as long as you are
 give him five minutes you can fell the music in his heart
 
 bringing joy to everyone
 taking pride in the work that he'd done
 but I never really thought that he'd be gone
 I was hoping there'd be just one more song
 
 Another man
 Another good man gone  
 Another man
 Another good man gone  

 singing melodies that warmed my cold
 never fall into the typical mode
 taking me back to the days of old
 
 telling tales of life & places he'd been
 a prophet of sorts to his following kin
 visit him once & you knew you'd be back
 over & over & over & over again
 
 and though we had a lot of fun
 all in all it was a hell of a run
 but I never really thought that he'd be gone
 I was hoping there'd be just one more song
 
 Another man
 Another good man gone  
 Another man
 Another good man gone  

 Remember how we laughed & how we cried
 53 years till his heart grew tired
 but he left his mark just like a branding iron
 
 sometimes still I hear the music play
 a warm wind blowing all the clouds away
 making the sun shine bright in the sky
 on a cold dark winters day
 
 no-one stays forever young
 nothin's for sure cept' the rising of the sun
 but I never really thought that he'd be gone
 I was hoping there'd be just one more song
 
 Another man
 Another good man gone  
 Another man
 Another good man gone
