Mac McAnally - Barney lyrics
Barney came to the gossip bench and said "I barbecued a dog on a tractor axle yesterday down at the dump yard" And nobody looked surprised if they was listening at all 'Cause when you're old to act surprised you have to try real hard And they don't, and they won't Because they tried before, and they were just ignored By everything - and everyone - they tried Barney told some jokes and kept 'em grinnin' all while Especially all the ones they'd heard before And when he left they all said "Good ole Barney sure can raise a smile" and then they wondered to themselves "What am I smiling for?" And don't - maybe they just won't But they all smile before and now there's nothing left to laugh about So they go without a smile Barney get around to be as old as all the rest He's the only one that seems to keep on tryin' He still drinks and tells tall tales and hunts and fishes with the best While the other sit around and think it's time to die But won't - anyway they don't I guess they've lived so long that they just go on 'cause they was raised that way What a price to pay to live Ah, we missed your family at church today Forty years ago I looked a lot like you Sit down, son, and help us pass the time of day Lord knows there ain't much nothin' left to do Good Lord knows there nothing left to do Barney died last week - I guess he drunk himself to death The church ladies said we're better off without him They say he finished his last and his biggest yarn when he drew in his last breath And Mama told me if I start to feeling bad about him Don't - your grandpa won't You know he thought before and he said thinkin' is nothing more than killin' time And time don't matter anymore Ah, we missed your family at church today Have you heard who's running 'round with you-know-who? Light's home at the fun'ral home - who passed away? Lord knows there ain't much nothin' left to do Good Lord knows there nothing left to do |
