[Verse 1]
It was Cinco de Mayo
Pillow case on his head
No more breathing time
An ambulance sped
Sped 'round ever corner
Calling out his name
[Chorus]
Shot a rabbit from the back seat window
Sat and watched the summer corn grow
Ate ice cream in a desert dream
And got lost in father's singing
Too hot inside
Too hot outside
Lazy days when I said let's go for a ride
We'll sail on Spirit Lake
Me, my pappy, and his lemonade
[Verse 2]
Tim and Tina were my parents' names
They got engaged
They were inflamed
Seduced by the light of bu*terflies
How they shimmer, how they glimmer
Those bu*terflies
We seven kids
We almost died
Nearly put to d**h
By lightening strikes
Instead there was hot, pink
Flashes in the sky
We climbed the rocks, in snow and rain
In search of magic powers
To heal our mother's pain
[Chorus x2]
