Conky Thoughts

Well, let me take you back to my Grandpa Jack,

He was a wise old sage, didn’t act his age.

Anger in him was rare, instead he’d just say a prayer,

Tell me “Life just ain’t fair, sometimes it’s a real bear.”

Then he’d turn to me and say,

In a tone I’ll remember to this day…

“If you’ll drink over anything, you’ll drink over anything.

Live the good life, fight the good fight. Better be plumb used up when you die.”

Well, he saved my ass, I didn’t know my soul was attached,

He saved more lives than some M.D.’s, more marriages than some shrinks.

He’s long gone, but I know he can hear this song,

I’ll never forget those words he said to me:

“If you’ll drink over anything, you’ll drink over anything.

Live the good life, fight the good fight. Better be plumb used up when you die.”
