Guy Clark - Bag Of Bones Lyrics
He said his hip talks to him when it's ready to rain
He's had a little nip and he's feelin' no pain
When he gets like this he feels like talkin'
He said he took some shrapnel at the Bay of Pigs
He lost two fingers on a gulf oil rig
Some folks say he's lost his mind, but he's just runnin' out of time
He said this ol' Bag of Bones ain't really me
There's a lot more standin' here than what you see
He said my back is bendin' low but my spirit's flyin' free
This ol' Bag of Bones ain't really me
He said I live each day like its my last
Time won't keep it goes so fast
You better do the best you can do
When you get it right you get a little spark
And the sun comes up and it all dawns on you
He said this ol' Bag of Bones ain't really me
There's a lot more standin' here than what you see
He said my back is bendin' low but my spirit's flyin' free
This ol' Bag of Bones ain't really me
My back is bendin' low but my spirit's flyin' free
Well this ol' Bag of Bones ain't really me
Ah, this ol' Bag of Bones ain't really me

Grande Guy Clark ... mi piace da morire ma l'ho scoperto solo oggi ... incredibile ! (Italy- Sa)
"He said my back is bending low but my spirits flying free." What a great sentiment! Only Guy could put words together like this to give us these great songs.
This reminds me of my grandpa my grandpa died in a car accident and he didn't make it sadly
This mabe me criy cuz my gramp died an it remins me of home
Wow this just bowled me over.
What brilliant pictures he paints
Saddest song I ever heard, and I've heard all Guy's songs so that's saying something.
goodbye Guy, thanks for all the songs, this one especially.
Talk about a great song, this one puts most to shame. If you have an aging father or have lost your father this song runs deep.
Or if you age:-)
Just what I was gonna say, Joe and Carolyn! Scares the hell outta me. :(
