Shandy's Turned Up Missing

from Broken Hearts & Bitter Ends by Shandy Lawson

/

lyrics

It breaks my heart to have to say
That Shandy won’t be here to play
There was an unfortunate accident
Out on the interstate

Seems he was fiddling with the radio
While trying to unwrap a taco supreme
And yelling at somebody on his cell phone
That’s what the cops deduced at the scene

They say he was reaching speeds of one-twenty
When he wrecked out like a jet plane hitting the ground
He was identified by his chile pepper tattoo
On a scorched and blackened torso that they found

Services will be held down by the river
And his ashes will be cast into the sea
And all his vital organs will be donated
In that creepy kind of immortality

So raise a pint to our brother
The devil’s one and only bastard son
Better get the tribute album started
So we can share his genius with everyone

And we can raffle off spots at the head of the motorcade
And auction off the rights to his story
We’ll sell his guitar too
you know, that’s what he’d want us to do

He’s probably looking up at us, smiling
In that funny way he do
Shandy, our friend
…we’ll miss you
