my name's tommy franks
an' my daddy's name was ray. ray was a farm boy
a cowboy an' a banker. a clerk
a roughneck
a driller
a long-haul driver
a soldier an' a mechanic. he was also a friend to everybody he ever met. ray taught me the value of faith an' family
the american flag
hard work
honesty an' a good dog. i hope my daddy ray wasn't the last of a dyin' breed.
