The Colonel, Johnny and Carmen

The Colonel said son a man ain’t a man with out a pair of boots to fill when he can
I never understood tell the day I turned 22 you see it took some time for me
but now I really understand those old cowboy boots

Johnny told us boy’s ya gotta be who you are inside always let that shine
but I never found out about who he really was until the day he died and the truth came to light
then I really got to see him for the first time

Advise gave to me before I’d ever understand, anything about this world
my mother she cried every night when they died

And Carmen said fast ain’t fast enough when your young and wild and your life should be on fire
and he died liked he lived going a 100 mile an hour he never seen the end it just came and went
cause he never said you’d be old when you die
