Truck Driver Sun Kil Moon

[Verse 1]
My uncle died in a fire on his birthday
Redneck that he was, burning trash in his yard one day
And onto the pile, he threw an aerosol can of spray
And that's how he died in the fire that day
Before he retired, he was a truck driver
He'd be gone through the winters and all through the summers
In the winters, us kids would order at Domino's and watch Happy Days
And in the summer, we'd gig frogs at the pond and fry up their legs

[Chorus]
My aunt still lives there
Out in Ohio
I visit her in the elder care
She makes me smile
We remember the story
Of when I was young
Getting stung by a hornet
She caressed my foot, rubbed baking powder on it

[Bridge]
I was probably five at their home in Navarre
My cousin's friend was in the yard, playing guitar
We all gathered around to listen to her play and sing
And I fell into a trance and knew that one day, I'd do the same thing
