I have dedicated a song to Gold Star Mom's for Peace

[sal]

A song called "Wiskey" on my new record Snake Farm. Please go to www.liquiddaddy.com and visit Sanke Farm, click Reptile House and then click on "western hognose." It is free and not for profit. I really just hope that people listen.

The song was inspired by the death of Karen Unruh-Wahrer, which I first read about here, but is for all Gold Star moms and to remind us of the obscenity of war.

Thanks

1. lyrics

Have you ever tried to drink yourself to death?

When you swallow so much whiskey that it steals away your last breath?

Some takes a little

Some takes a lot

As for me, it takes all you got

Have you ever tried to drink yourself to death?



Do you know what it means to die from a broken heart?

When life goes and kills all the very most important parts?

When your heart shatters

Nothing else matters

It never stops hurting and it never gets better

Do you know what it means to die from a broken heart?



Chorus:

Hey, Mr. Reaper

Why’d you take my baby away?

You mean old stealer

Why can’t you take me instead?



Have you ever been so lonely that you didn’t want to live no more?

When your life means so little that you fall through the cracks in the floor?

Life of the party, all by yourself

You’re the very last prisoner in the very last jail

Have you ever been so lonely that you didn’t want to live no more?



Have you ever wept so long that you cried your eyes right out?

Cause you ran out of tears and you’ve forgotten what your crying about?

You pick yourself up

Your feeling numb

Well the sun it still rises and the bills they still come

Have you ever wept so long that you cried your eyes right out?



Repeat Chorus
