[Verse]
Well Che was Gpushing Am80, but Che aGcted Am22
FHe could laugh and dCrink just like his Ggrandchildren would Amdo
There Cwas square Ghay on the Ammeadow, second Ccutting Gof the Amyear
Well Fhis summer work was Cover once they gGot the pasture cAmleared
They were Cdrinkin on Gthe big Ambluff across the Criver fGrom the Amfield
Well he Fwalked up to the Cedge and threw a Gstone in and he Amkneeled
And he Clooked down Gat the Amwater, he said boCys im gGoing Amin
They were Fcheering when he Cjumped but he did Gnot come up Amagain
[Chorus]
Well Fraise another Cround boys and Ghave another gAmlass
Be Fthankful for tCoday knowing it Gwill never E7last
StilFl lets leave the world Claughing when our Geulogies are Amread
May Fwe all get to Cheaven 'fore the Gdevil knows we're Amdead
May Fwe all get to Cheaven 'fore the Gdevil knows we're Amdead

Well the wFind blew through the Cwing vents, it was Gclear and fresh and Amcold
Well the Cdriver Gkilled the Amheadlights and he Cput thGe throttAmle down
When they Fhit the railroad Ccrossing they were Gfive feet off the Amground
Just a-sCcreaming thGrough thAme midnight 'til tChey camGe down aAmgain
Well the fFront tire hit a bCar ditch, they weGnt end over eAmnd
[Chorus]
Well Fraise another Cround boys and Ghave another gAmlass
Be Fthankful for tCoday knowing it Gwill never E7last
StilFl lets leave the world Claughing when our Geulogies are Amread

Well tell Feveryone I know tChat I loved them Gall to Amdeath
[Chorus]
Well Fraise another Cround boys and Ghave another gAmlass
Be Fthankful for tCoday knowing it Gwill never E7last
