lyrics

Today they had a little service
Where friends and relations said goodbye
They put flowers by the ashes on the counter
And talked about how young he was to die

Almost ten years ago she met him
Just out of school living check to check
Holding down two jobs across the city
He’d give her rides in his old wreck
 
He said that he would be a country singer
With a Stetson hat and fancy new guitar
Then he’d buy her the nicest dress in Nashville
Cause it won’t be long before he’d be a star
 
For a while he didn’t tell her bout the symptoms
But eventually he started lookin bad
She took him and didn’t cry
Till the doctors told her what he had
 
They had no insurance
And ran out of money
When he died all he left her was his car
And a wrinkled hundred dollar bill she found
In a guitar case with no guitar
 
Today they had a little service
Where friends and relations came to cry
She paid sixty bucks for the ashes
And wore the nicest dress that forty bucks could buy
