life's good

friends are hard to find and now one of mine is dead. and things i should have said to her

i shall say to you instead. mona

mona

so much of you to love

too much of you to take care of

mona

mona. you got too big to keep and too damn old to eat. when you where just a football at your mama's side

i reckon everyone figured you for a barbecue when you died. and here i'm thinking about you lying underground pushing up a pine tree in my field. oh

mona

mona

you can close your eyes. i've got a twelve-gauge surprise waiting for you. since the day she passed away

everything's just the same. everywhere i go

somebody mentions her name. sometimes it's easiest to tell a friend a lie

they don't understand the way i feel. oh

mona

mona

so much of you to love

too much of you to take care of

so long. now she is gone and i am left alone as you can see. but ever since i caused her death

i do miss her company.
