Truck Driver Lyrics - Benji - Sun Kil Moon

Redneck that he was 

Burning trash in his yard one day 

And on to 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 

In the winters us kids would order Domino's and watch Happy Days 

And in the summer, we'd gig frogs at the pond and fry up their legs 

My Aunt still lives there, out in Ohio 

I visit her in the [?], she makes me smile 

We'd remember the story of when I was young 

Getting stung by a hornet, she caressed my foot 

Rubbed baking powder on it 

I was probably five at their home in 

My cousin's friend was in the yard playing guitar 

We all gathered around, listened to her play and sing 

And I fell into a trance and knew that one day I would do the same thing 

My Uncle died in a fire on his birthday 

Out by the barn and his old collection of cars 

Third degree burns, 

I flew out there, I went to his funeral 

Was storming that day, the sky was deep purple 

And babies were crying, Kentucky Fried Chicken was served 

And that's how he would've wanted it, I'm sure 

And after the funeral out there in Navarre 

They all gathered around when I picked up a guitar 

They fell into a trance as I sang and I played
