C F G C
call your boys now that the table’s set and shining
F G C
no one’s seen any of them in many days
F G C
call your boys, they shot a buzzard off a Chrysler
F G Am
do you still taste all that you swallowed before grace
F C G Am
and you’ll forgive even the time they burned the henhouse
F C G C
and ran from you ran to the hills with burnin’ hands
Setting sun framed in the doorway right behind you
Several chores, surely some lessons left to tell
Setting sun was in the hills and now before you
Set your boys each with their shining silverware
They'll bury you under the wood beside the carport
They'll bury you some neon stop along the way
Radio fuzz on the fence post by the pasture
Long ago Liza and you would dance all day
Now you lay buried, the stern and sacred father
And sacred earth under the billboard in the rain
For one last toast here's to the brave who went before us
Who died in vain, died in a movie for a dream
