Reluctant hero of the familyHis life played out like a tragedyMusic man was all he claimed to beA flesh of brilliance like a shooting starEtched in your mind for as long as you areGive him five minutes, you could feel the music in his heartBringing joy to everyoneTaking pride in the work that he'd doneBut we never really thought that he'd be goneI was hoping there'd be just one more songand now another manAnother good man goneanother manAnother good man goneSinging melodies that warm my coreNever fittin' into a typical moldTaking me back to the days of oldTelling tails of life and places he'd beenA profit of sorts to his father would kinVisit him once and you knew you'd be backOver and over and over and over againYou know he had a lot of funAll in all it was a hell of a runBut we never really thought that he'd be goneI was hoping there'd be just one more sonand now another manAnother good man goneanother manAnother good man goneRemember how we laughed and how we cried53 years til his heart grew tiredBut he left his mark just like a branding ironSometimes still I hear the music playA warm wind blowing all the clouds awayLettin' the sunshine bright in the sky on a cold dark winter dayNo one stays forever youngNothin' for sure but the risin' of the sunBut I never really thought that he'd be goneI was hoping there'd be just one more songand now another maaaaanAnother good man gone (x4)
