Jerry Reed

(DEDICATED TO JERRY REED WHO DIED SEPTEMBER 1, 2008.)

He starred in the Smokey and the bandit films and in the Waterboy as well.
When it came to acting and singing, this man excelled.
It was plain to see that he was a country boy.
He's dead now but he brought people lots of joy.
He made millions of people laugh and now he's making them cry.
When it comes to such a great man, it's hard to say goodbye.
