Save Me a Spot
i remember the time on a cold winters day
when i was called home from school
dad told me mom that youd passed away
and his heart was crying for you
we all cried a lot on that day mom
me and dad and sister sal
some say it seems like yesterday
to me it seems like a thousand days of hell
dad took to drinking a lot after you left
and he couldnt even hold up his head
it even got worse just a while ago
when he learned that sister was dead
it was a little too much for his poor heart
and he couldnt carry on that way
you better save him a spot in heaven with you
because dad just up and died today
now im coming too i cant carry on
momma save a sweet spot for me
