reluctant hero of the family his life played out like a tragedy music man was all he claimed to be a flesh of brilliance like a shooting star etched in your mind for as long as you are give him five minutes you could feel the music in his heart bringing joy to everyone taking pride in the work that he d done but we never really thought that he d be gone i was hoping there d be just one more song and now another man another good man gone another man another good man gone singing melodies that warm my core never fittin into a typical mold taking me back to the days of old telling tails of life and places he d been a profit of sorts to his father would kin visit him once and you knew you d be back over and over and over and over again you know he had a lot of fun all in all it was a hell of a run but we never really thought that he d be gone i was hoping there d be just one more son and now another man another good man gone another man another good man gone remember how we laughed and how we cried 53 years til 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 lettin the sunshine bright in the sky on a cold dark winter day no one stays forever young nothin for sure but the risin of the sun but i never really thought that he d be gone i was hoping there d be just one more song and now another maaaaan another good man gone
