(started ta' title this "blowin' in the wind...but "road kill" seemed more appropraite for me to you who know me )

got a dear one dyin'
a bunch a people cryin'
some just sighin'
some wonderin' the "whyin"
hey, people
it's just the END

but when push comes ta' shove
their soul leaves their body\fly's away.....
on the wings of a dove
or an angel
or an armadillo
(oh they ain't got wings)
guess that's the thing
they just be
road kill

bury 'em deep
in the ground
cover 'em up
hide 'em from the sound
of life's keep goin' round & round

burn 'em up
ashes ta' ashes
dust ta' dust
once you're dead
what's ta' rust
so stick 'em in a jar
keep it close or far
look at the sky
see that star
yeah!
that's where they are

got family
brothers & such
say do this, no
do that
don't know
where i be at

'cause when i die
when i'm dead
when my last poems been read
toast my ass
cook my bones
take my ashes
& throw 'em away
by the side of the road
hell
i finished carryin my load
had my fill
now
i'm just road kill

only request i have is
this
play some George & some Merle
johnny bush, maybe minnie pearl
bob dylan b' nice
---boots of spanish leather"
& that one about the weather
sumpin' about the answer
blowin in the wind...
GUy Clarke & John Prine
yeah,
just play music to remember me
that'd be fine

oh and one more thing
kinda strange
comin' from me...
but bag pipes
& "amazing grace"
one last song for this ace

so bury me where ya' will
don't matter ta' me
hell, what's ta' dye
and please don't cry
just throw me out the car door
long sida' the bye-way
let me die my way

road kill
