Ballad of Lonnie Wolf Letra

Can't even wipe the tears from his eyes

He was playing harp, a lonesome tune
That drove everyone from the room
Pulled his gun from beneath the pillow
He put the barrel up against his temple

Oh Lonnie, you made a big mistake

Now he's in the V.A. hospital
A victim of life's ancient riddle
Tried to die, but he was codemned to give
Death's a gift only God can give

Blink an eye, squeeze a hand
Life stretches out like the desert sand
He got in a hurry, couldn't wait
Lonnie's character sealed his fate

Oh Lonnie, you made a big mistake

Little girl in the next room
She'll be a grown up pretty soon
In her heart there's a broken place
Shattered just like her daddy's fac

Big mistake
