	I wrote this song about four years after my little brother got killed riding a motorcycle. This song is the reason I started singing.
	CD: Catatonic Cocktail Credits: Written & Sung By Archie Floyd Bowen
	Story Behind the Song The last time I saw my little brother alive was on Easter he was showing me his bedroom that morning and how he had painted it. He had painted his name...FrankieLeroy across the wall in red paint, much like The Rocky Horror Picture Show, altho this was years before Rocky Horror was ever released. That evening was the last time I saw my brother alive. Lyrics FrankieLeroy(I Remember You) Written By Archie Floyd Bowen Say Hi to Janis and Jimmi for me Elvis Presley and Jim Croche And Frankie Leroy as a brother to me Save me a place in music's family Life's melody you played Beautifully relayed A never faded rapsody The memories are made The music's about to fade Into an everlasting melody Say Hi to Janis and Jimmi for me Say Hi to Janis and Jimmi for me Oh I remember Frankie Leroy was four And I was going on six We were playin' out front of grandma's house Fixin' to get our little bottoms licked It was Easter morning there were Easter Eggs flyin' by We were having fun Throwin' Easter Eggs at each other It was better than eatin' one Daddy stood on the porch and come a runnin' at us We started runnin' the other way When he caught up with me, I wished I'd never seen An Easter Egg that day Oh Frankie Leroy I remember you well You've got so many friends that can tell A story or two about you And how you inspired them so well As a young man I couldn't understand What livin' life was all about The reasons for my being here wasn't clear But I found out I remember me and Frankie Leroy Peepin' into some of our toys It was Christmas Eve I got a new guitar We were just a couple of boys I practiced hard to learn to play Didn't have anything to say Till I wrote a song about Frankie Leroy And how he died on Easter day I've been sent here to play my guitar You've been sent here to hear me play I got my new guitar on Christmas And started singing on Easter day Only four years ago, your name dripped down in blood On the bedroom wall I looked at you, You looked at me Frankie Leroy I heard momma call And Archie Floyd come to the table It's last supper call for all Oh Frankie Leroy I remember you well Your such an inspiration to us all It was a beautiful Easter evening, you always enjoyed life You were riding your motorcycle, I was visiting with my wife The telephone rang, they said Frankie's Dead, I remembered that bedroom wall You knew you were going home that night, your such an inspiration to us all Oh Frankie Leroy, I'll never forget you Frankie Leroy, I remember you well Frankly Frankie, if it wasn't for Christmas, and Easter, and You I wouldn't have one of the greatest stories...to tell Say hi to Janis and Jimmi for me Elvis Presley and Jim Croche Say hi to Janis and Jimmi for me.
