R.I.P....Whiskey Lullaby

R.I.P....Whiskey Lullaby

How fitting that it's cloudy
This sombre fateful day
The plane rolls down the tarmac
She keeps the tears at bay

She shouldn't really be here
But again, she had to be
One thousand miles traveled
She's here, but where is he

She rents herself a Mustang
Buys herself a map
Gathers her bag and baggage
Tosses on her Packers cap

To the farm, her destination
Down off highway 35
Cursing him within her soul
Cursing him for having died

Up ahead she sees the farm house
All the people gathered there
Driving slowly right on past
She glances right to an evil stare

Somehow she knew that other woman
That other woman knew her too
She found a place to pull on over
A place to keep her out of view

Walking slowly to the farmhouse
Staying safely out of sight
Beethoven's playing his last song
As this day becomes the night

She watches as they spread his ashes
Through her lips, a wail escapes
She questions life from here on in
How can she live without her mate

They had it all or at least enough
'Til he threw it all away
'Til that night he pulled the trigger
Now there's nothing left to say

Now she pulls herself together
Stumbles back into the car
This is it, her life is over
She drives off to find a bar.
