He's Still a Welder - E. Frank Murphy

While he's still around I'm gonna take him out to fish So we can catch up on them stories That we ain't got to yet And while he's still around I'm gonna make a couple of notes About how he's loved my mama Since all those years ago 'Cause you never know when the phone is gonna ring Saying heaven handed out some angel wings And all those things that you were gonna do Are just tear drops raining on a church pew So I'm gonna try to say it before I gotta pray it Hoping that he's looking down And tell him that I love him While he's still around While he's still around We're gonna fix up that old car So one day when it's all mine He'll be there every time it starts And while he's still around Yeah, I want to meet the one Watch him try and hold them tears back When I see him holding my son 'Cause you never know when the phone is gonna ring Saying heaven handed out some angel wings And all those things that you were gonna do Are just tear drops raining on a church pew So I'm gonna try to say it before I gotta pray it Hoping that he's looking down And tell him that I love him While he's still around I'm gonna try and catch a game with him Take a road trip, get on out of state with him Thank every memory I can make with him Live it up before it's too late with him You never know when the phone is gonna ring Saying heaven handed out some angel wings And all those things that you were gonna do Are just tear drops raining on a church pew So I'm gonna try to say it before I gotta pray it Hoping that he's looking down And tell him that I love him While he's still around

I'm still a freak, I never went straight I kept my appointment with fate And like every human being that was ever born I'm unique Things disappear, but I'm still here I'm still a freak I'm still a head and I'm doing fine I can hear your voice in my mind You ain't singing my praises now honey Do it when I'm dead I'm not bitter but I'm no quitter I'm still a head I'm still awake, I knew all along If you ain't crazy there's something wrong And there's no such thing as a coincidence Or a mistake And all this confusion is all just illusion I'm still awake I'm still a freak, I ain't been gagged I'm still flying the flag The game's movin' so fast, who knows where it's gonna Be this time next week! Empires rise and fall, but through it all I'm still a freak!
