Check out this cool Lyle Lovett tune...can anybody help me out with the
words in the last verse, some of those names are a bit hard to catch
Family Reserve - Lyle Lovett
When I saw the ambulance screaming down Main Street
I didn't give it a thought
But it was my Uncle Eugene
He died on October the 2nd, 1981
And my Uncle Wilbur
They all called him Skinner
And they said for his younger ways
He'd get drunk in the morning
And show me the rolls of fifties and hundreds
He kept in the glove box of his old grey Impala
Chorus: And we're all gonna be here forever
So Mama don't you make such a stir
Put down that camera
And come on and join up
The last of the family reserve
Now my second cousin his name was Calloway
He died when he'd barely turned two
And it was peanut butter and jelly what did it
The help she didn't know what to do
She just stood there and she watched him turn blue
Chorus
And my friend Brian Temple he thought he could make it
So from the third story he jumped
And he missed the swimming pool
But only by inches
And everyone said he was drunk
Chorus
And there was great Uncle Julius and there was Aunt Annie Miller
And Mary and Grandaddy Paul
And there was Hannah and Ella and Alvin and Attic
And he owned his own funeral home
And there are more I remember and more I could mention
Than words I could write in this song
But I feel them watching and I see them laughing
And I, I hear them singing along
Chorus
There you go...Keep an eye out, more Lovett tunes to come
