youre the crowds best attempt at renewal
a dying chance the ends gonna fly
your down deep seven pints and a fifth of jack daniels
in the hope that tomorrow you'll die
but surrenderin' aint never been your own style
you'll be there singing us lullabies
and when it comes down to your final mile
im sure the reaper will receive some alibi
god bless you, dear brother, a light weight, you're never
and forever a legend you'll be
please rest your old soul, cause the nights gettin cold
and leave all the rest up to me
i remember the summer of ol' 97,
a wreck they were claimin you'd be
but oh did you show them all, you were 90 feet tall
when you took to the univeristy
between the text books you tore, you were certain theres more
than a 9 to 5 suburban life
you cared not for family pets, children and mini vans
or some middle aged submissive stepford wife
god bless you, dear brother, a light weight, you're never
and forever a legend you'll be
please rest your old soul, cause the nights gettin cold
and leave all the rest up to me
