<br />
At the high school football game<br />
you act so aloof<br />
<br />
you deny our past<br />
but I've got proof<br />
<br />
the score was tied<br />
for a while<br />
<br />
by second period<br />
it was a blow out<br />
<br />
your cousin made<br />
a lot of tackles<br />
<br />
after the game<br />
as we stood on the field<br />
<br />
celebrating the win<br />
with family and friends<br />
<br />
a smile fell from a corner<br />
of your mouth<br />
<br />
and bounced like a football<br />
out of bounds<br />
<br />

short and stocky<br />

driving the family van<br />
like a race car<br />
tail-gating like there was no tomorrow<br />
<br />
and now we all pay with this awful sorrow<br />
your life cut short at home<br />
we all thought you'd go<br />
behind the wheel<br />
<br />
I guess we all think<br />
we will live forever<br />
life is unpredictable<br />
and death so clever<br />
<br />
Boy, I miss your crazy ass<br />
wish I could rub your head again<br />
tell you to be careful one more time<br />
as you drive away<br />
<br />
but it wasn't meant to be<br />
we all await our fates<br />
our hearts break and shatter like glass<br />
and we miss your crazy ass<br />

<br />
When the people came calling<br />
at the White House gate<br />
Donnie was down under<br />
in the bunker<br />
<br />
when the ghost of George Floyd<br />
came knocking at the Casa Blanca<br />
Donnie was down under<br />
in the bunker<br />
<br />
down under<br />
not even Australian<br />
maybe Tasmanian-----devil<br />
<br />
when the white smoke had cleared<br />
he walked across the street to the church<br />
left God in a lurch<br />
pretended to believe<br />
<br />
but Donnie belonged<br />
down under<br />
in the bunker<br />
<br />
his bone spurs<br />
whispered Yes Sir<br />
not even a mouse begin to stir<br />
and he came out from the bunker<br />
dreaming he was a conquerer<br />
his little Napoleon pants<br />
damp around the rear<br />
<br />
and Donnie was down under<br />
in the bunker<br />
hunker hunker<br />

<br />
I'm trying my best to outlive<br />
Keith Richards' wrinkly ass<br />
<br />
I'm trying my best to outlive<br />
Betty White's sagging tits<br />
<br />
I'm trying my best<br />
not to get killed by a Minnesota cop<br />
<br />
I'm trying my best to outlive<br />
the fat ass in the White House<br />
<br />
I'm trying my very best<br />
to outlive myself<br />

<br />
When I die and earn<br />
my pumpkin empanada wings<br />
<br />
don’t come knocking at my door<br />
with hot black coffee<br />
<br />
don’t tell me how much<br />
you really loved me<br />
<br />
because I’ll be flying high<br />
in the bakery sky<br />
<br />
my big toes stabbing<br />
the chocolate conchas<br />
<br />
my angel ass<br />
avoiding the cuernitos<br />
<br />
