about

M.M. was a carpenter, cattleman, poet, and friend. I miss our visits.

lyrics

Hello Michael

I declare
The porch is so empty when you're not there
Just a few old rockin' chairs
Big C came callin' plowin' up the rural route
You beat it twice - three strikes you're out
Three strikes you're out

Goodbye Michael, you can row your boat ashore
You don't have to hurt no more
That will be for everyone who had to stay behind
Goodbye Michael it's for good this time

My pride and joy is only six years old
I call him my Sunny Boy
I wonder how much he knows
He calls me his Cloudy Man
How can he understand
How can we understand

Goodbye Michael, you can row your boat ashore
You don't have to hurt no more
That will be for everyone who had to stay behind
Goodbye Michael it's for good this time

Old man winter is headed my way
My coffee is bitter and my skies are gray
Feel the wind put the chill on the sun
All the dreams of my youth are coming undone
Coming undone

It's been a long time coming but I can finally see the light
God, it shines so bright
I want to cross that river
I want to walk that shore
I don't want to hurt no more
No I don't want to cry no more

Hello Michael help me row your boat ashore
We ain't got to hurt no more
That'll be for everyone who has to stay behind
Hello Michael it's for good this time
Hello Michael
