	Alternative Country and Bluesy PopRock -- not hick but not complete rock, either. Dead parents, drinking in a graveyard, sentimental angst -- besides, the childhood dog dies and the guy's wife leaves him.

	Story Behind the Song Got sad -- wrote it -- recorded it with a buddy of mine, who's now in prison, I think, for stealing some money. But, Jason, this is for you -- wherever you are. And to answer the perennial question -- No, I never dated a Cathy. And she sure as hell didn't break my heart -- anyone ever read Wuthering Heights for heaven's sake? Lyrics Tombstone I was halfway there and halfway home I had to stop just to say hello So, I'll lean back on this cold, hard stone If you'll just listen til it's time to go We just had to put old Blue to sleep I remember when you gave him to me Last night I was -- I was walking the railroad tracks Almost too drunk to stand Cathy's gone and she broke my heart She left me for another man But I can smile with a tear in my eye, I gotta case of your favorite beer You know I'll drink myself half-blind -- Oh, Daddy, how I wish you were here -- I wish you were here The fog is clouding my weary brain And the stars are all cold in the sky Momma's waiting 'cause it's suppertime And I was just passing by Things'll never be the same again 'Cause I keep trying To bring us way back when Now, Daddy you know I have to go, So I'll pour you a sip of beer Momma said to tell you That she loves you so -- Oh, Daddy, how we wish you were here
