 call your boys now that the table’s  set and shining
 no one’s seen any of them  in many days
 call your boys, they shot a buzzard  off a Chrysler
 do you still taste all that you swallowed  before grace
 and you’ll forgive  even the time  they burned the henhouse
 and ran from you  ran to the hills  with burnin’ hands
 Setting sun framed in the doorway right behind you
 Several chores, surely some lessons left to tell
 Setting sun was in the hills and now before you
 Set your boys each with their shining silverware
 They'll bury you under the wood beside the carport
 They'll bury you some neon stop along the way
 Radio fuzz on the fence post by the pasture
 Long ago Liza and you would dance all day
 Now you lay buried, the stern and sacred father
 And sacred earth under the billboard in the rain
 For one last toast here's to the brave who went before us
 Who died in vain, died in a movie for a dream
