LAST TIME I SAW PAUL

Last time I saw Paul, We got low but we stood tall We did shots, Smoked a lot, But we did not fall As I recall, Last time I saw Paul We got low, We stood tall, When I saw Paul Raised a glass, To friends that passed Got a bottle, Hit the throttle, We got gassed Had a blast. The damage done was deep and vast That’s how friendships last Last time I saw Paul, We got low but we stood tall Hit the ball over the wall and we touched ‘em all As I recall, Last time I saw Paul We got low, We stood tall, When I saw Paul Our bellies long ago got soft, We still hold our heads aloft Though it’s mostly smoke and broken mirrors in our heads Through writer’s blocks and laughing stocks, Weaker minds jealous talk Bloody knuckles sidewalks, it’s like I said…

Last time I saw Paul, We got low but we stood tall We did shots, Smoked a lot, But we did not fall As I recall, Last time I saw Paul We got low, We stood tall, When I saw Paul Burning bush is worth a bird leg in the hand, Apple cart fruit stand Dull knife tipple topple, Full life empty bottle Evening ended without warning, Wee hours of the morning Coupla’ redneck mothers – Up against the wall

Last time I saw Paul, We got low but we stood tall Hit the ball over the wall and we touched ‘em all As I recall, Last time I saw Paul We got low, We stood tall, When I saw Paul

He was a face in the mirror, broken fears, many years ‘Til the finish is near, but the darkness outside Makes a false image clear. So I lean in close and listen And I heard him say, “Who is this guy?” Anyway…

Last time I saw Paul, We got low but we stood tall We did shots, Smoked a lot, But we did not fall As I recall, Last time I saw Paul We got low, We stood tall, When I saw Paul

As I recall, woo-ooh, me and Paul We got low. We stood tall, when I saw Paul
