Standard (EADGBE)

When I saw the ambulance screaming down Main Street

I didn't give it a thought

 But it was my Uncle Eugene

 He died on October the 2nd, 1981

And my Uncle Wilbur

They all called him Skinner

And they said for his younger ways

 He'd get drunk in the morning

 And show me the rolls of fifties and hundreds

 He kept in the glove box of his old grey Impala

Chorus

And we're all gonna be here forever

  So Mama don't you make such a stir

  Put down that camera

  And come on and join up

  The last of the family reserve

Now my second cousin his name was Calloway

 He died when he'd barely turned two

 And it was peanut butter and jelly what did it

 The help she didn't know what to do

 She just stood there and she watched him turn blue

Chorus

And my friend Brian Temple he thought he could make it

 So from the third story he jumped

 And he missed the swimming pool

 But only by inches

 And everyone said he was drunk

Chorus

And there was great Uncle Julius and there was Aunt Annie Miller

 And Mary and Grandaddy Paul

 And there was Hannah and Ella and Alvin and Attic

 And he owned his own funeral home

And there are more I remember and more I could mention

 Than words I could write in this song

 But I feel them watching and I see them laughing

 And I, I hear them singing along

Chorus

There you go...Keep an eye out, more Lovett tunes to come
