I Wrote a Book

from That Was The World That Was by Bill White

/

lyrics

I wrote a book about some folks I used to know
Some of them are gone now
The rest are going slow
I didnt write it to entertain you
Or to mess with your had
I wrote it to bring back the dead

My good friend Duffy
Saved my best friends life
The assailent busted up his head
As he pushed the gun aside
Somem say it was the beating
Some say it was the wine
But one way or another
He was dead at 59

Repeat chorus

The first time I saw Virgil
Was in a photograph
He and Maron Brando
Were having a laugh
We were in a movie together
And he couldnt remember his lines
He died of Alzheimers
On the streets of pantomime

Repeat Chorus

Old cowboy Morris
He hated my guts
Every time I started singing
He told me to shut up
But I always kind of liked him
Though we drove in different lanes
And he wasnt that bad an actor
On days when it didnt rain

Repeat Chorus
