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
