about

Spurrier's summer song made in Garage Band on iOS

lyrics

Just a “Guy” born in Virginny
But his life was a mystery
To me

Headed west across the Mi-sip-i
Out to Kansas where he could be free
To be

Until one night when he was at the bar
He gambled well and he won by far
He spent it all on a whiskey jar
And he headed on down the road

Back in the day, he had found his love
In Indiana, she was such a dove
To see

Spent all his days at the flour mill,
Toiling away to pay his bills
And fees

But on that night when he was heading home,
Drunk as a skunk and all alone,
Fell off his horse and let out a groan
As he was dragged on down the road

Poor Guy
What a way to die
Poor guy
What a way to go

He made it through that fateful night
And for awhile he put up a fight
(But) before long he saw a light
So he headed on up the road

Four generations later here I stand,
Beside his grave next to rivers, lands,
And trees

Hard to think that he still lives on,
In these chords and this verse and song
From me

Poor Guy
What a way to die
Poor guy
What a way to go
