The Man Who Never Smiles

There is a man who never smiles He works his life away day by day His past was bad so bad he will never smile again At the age of ten his mother passed in a horrible car crash He was lucky to have survived Laying in the hospital striving to survive At the age of fifteen he lost his daddy Forty years of smoking and drinking finally caught up with him His brother worked himself to death He worked 25 years in the red hot sun never took a day off Took a lot of hits from the prisoners he guarded Now all this man has left in life is himself A pistol and a bullit A shotglass and whiskey Pull the trigger Say goodbye
