If Ive got one wish, I hope it rains at my funeral. For once, Id like to be the only one dry. A man with forty acres plowed and planted Cant send no fourteen year-old boy to no school. The only thing I learned in the years I worked on my daddys farm Was, Son, you better get them crops in when it turns cool. In the magazines, I saw the naked women. I heard about the drinkin and the bars. If my daddy couldve caught me, hed a-killed me. He said, You might run, boy, but you aint gonna get far. I hit town or you might say that it hit me. Next mornin there were things I knew more about. The woman who had taken me in said, Country boy, youre all right. The same way I turned her on, she turned me out. The first law I broke, right away they got me. I helped them build the country roads for awhile. They fed me two times a day and knocked me down about four. For thirty days I didnt even crack a smile. I met a nice girl and she said I was her baby. She let me go and would never tell me why. I learned what it means to be somebodys baby. They let you lie in your bed by yourself and cry. The miles were good but the mileage is turnin my hair gray. Ive met some people that knew me and call me friend. Aint no sense in wantin my life to live over. Id find different ways to make those mistakes again. So let me say this, I never tried to hurt anybody. Though I guess theres a few that I still couldnt look in the eye. If Ive got one wish, I hope it rains at my funeral. For once, Id like to be the only one dry.
