Pineola |
| When Daddy told me what happened |
| I couldn’t believe what he just said |
| Sonny shot himself with a 44 |
| And they found him lyin' on his bed |
| I could not speak a single word |
| No tears streamed down my face |
| I just sat there on the living room couch |
| Starin' off into space |
| Mama and Daddy went over to the house |
| To see what had to be done |
| They took the sheets off of the bed |
| And they went to call someone |
| Some of us gathered at a friend’s house |
| To help each other ease the pain |
| I just sat alone in a corner chair |
| I couldn’t say much of anything |
| We drove on out to the country |
| His friends all stood around |
| Subiaco Cemetery |
| Is where we lay him down |
| I saw his mama, she was standin' there |
| His sister, she was there too |
| I saw them look at us standin' around the grave |
| And not a soul they knew |
| Born and raised in Pineola |
| His mama believed in the Pentecost |
| She got the preacher to say some words |
| So his soul wouldn’t be lost |
| Some of us, we stood in silence |
| Some bowed their heads and prayed |
| I think I must’ve picked up a handful of dust |
| And let it fall over his grave |
| I think I must’ve picked up a handful of dust |
| And let it fall over his grave |
