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
