Daddy was an awful drunk
Mommy was the loosest girl in town
Brother just some two bit punk
Rode his Harley D into the ground
Distant friends and relatives
Each of them a problem they would share
From the in-laws to the out laws
Quietly she would soak their despair
She was one of life's lil' angels
A job that don't pay so well
Guiding those to heaven
That should've gone to hell
Was it really worth it?
Only time and death may ever tell
She was the brick
At the base
Of the house
A true foundation stone
She was the colour
And the sound
And the taste
And the rose of my cologne
