Old Crow Medicine Show - Dearly Departed Friend Lyrics
The service went the way it should have gone
No one talked too loud or cried too long
'Cept your mama's new boyfriend
He went on and on while they laid you in the ground
Right about then a truck backfired
Yeah that shook me up I guess
I been home a month now and I still can't get no rest
Standing by the grave of a dearly departed friend
With nothing much to say except sorry it turned out like it did
21 guns for 21 years and American flags in the wind
Standing by the grave of a dearly departed friend
Barbecue grills and lawnmowers
Kids on four-wheelers and ice cream trucks
Georgia lost to Tennessee, you would have liked that I know
Afterwards we went to O'Charleys
Your mama's boyfriend got drunk saying it should have been me
And I wish it was, him I mean
So I went home, got drunk and watched the TV
I'm standing by the grave of a dearly departed friend
With nothing much to say except sorry it turned out like it did
21 guns for 21 years and American flags in the wind
Standing by the grave of a dearly departed friend
Hey, there's only one road leads out of this town and it comes right back
So I just drive in circles, circles, and I try not to blow my stack
Out at the mall and the motor mile, it's just as lonesome as a sea
And man the girls round here, the girls round here
They're just as hopeless as they used to be
So go on and tie another yellow ribbon round the old hackberry tree
And tamp the dirt down, y'all go on home now, there ain't nothing here to see
Standing by the grave of a dearly departed friend
With nothing much to say except sorry it turned out like it did
21 guns for 21 years and American flags in the wind
Standing by the grave of a dearly departed friend
I'm just standing by the grave of a dearly departed friend

To my brother who has been gone for 11 years 😔
:/ Rip to lost friends.
Makes you think doesn't it. Great song.
Yes, and we love when bands make us think. Thanks for watching!
I am very proud to call these boys my old friends. What you see right here is exactly what you get with the Old Crow Medicine Show. This is real American music by which the rest will be judged, by God. I'd put Ketch Secor and Critter up against old Jerry Garcia himself, and I'm guessing old Jerry would agree: there hasn't been American music this good since American Beauty. BW.
beautiful song, played on my father's cremation..
I love it. I love 'em.
