Lyrics
No tears streamed down my face, mama and daddy went over to the house
No tears streamed down my face, starin off into space Williams, so his soul wouldn t be lost
I just sat alone in a corner chair, no tears streamed down my face, they took the sheets off of the bed
So his soul wouldn t be lost, i could not speak a single word Lucinda, we stood in silence
she got the preacher to say some words
I saw his mama, and they found him lyin on his bed
Born and raised in pineola, starin off into space
when daddy told me what happened
they took the sheets off of the bed
his friends all stood around
Sonny shot himself with a 44, and let it fall over his grave
I couldn t believe what he just said, some of us gathered at a friend s house, and not a soul they knew
his friends all stood around
Born and raised in pineola, i could not speak a single word Williams, when daddy told me what happened
to see what had to be done
To see what had to be done, i just sat there on the living room couch
I saw his mama, she got the preacher to say some words
To see what had to be done, she got the preacher to say some words
no tears streamed down my face
I saw them look at us standin around the grave, they took the sheets off of the bed, she was standin there
some bowed their heads and prayed
Is where we lay him down, i could not speak a single word, so his soul wouldn t be lost
