father never got away
with what he did
he was smokin a cigarette
getting through his drink
wading through his thoughts
and getting through his drink
and now mama sleeps
under the steps
there’s flocks of birds
that’ll never get fed
she’ll never smell the earth
til the day she’s dead
well father why’d you leave her there
so empty
why’d you let her slip away so goddamn
quickly
he said he’d name the shirt that
she was wearing
he said he’d die before he’d see
mama buried
father never got away
with what he did
he was smoking a cigarette
wading through his thoughts and
getting through his drink
but there’s flocks of birds that’ll
never get fed
she’ll never smell the earth
til the day she’s dead.
