lyrics

I think the thing I'll miss the most about you
Is the way you had of making me feel fine
No one every said a thing about you
That wasn't loving, friendly, generous, or kind

Of all the ways that I could think to lose somebody
I'd say that this one probably has to hurt the most
Trying to say goodbye across the telephone line
Is about like trying to reason with a ghost

He's going on the news
to give a speech and give 'em hell
They say that he's looking for a fight
So I think I'll turn in early,
think I'll turn off all the lights
'Cause the President is on TV tonight

Gonna have to call the family in to help me
'Cause tomorrow I'll have to go through all your clothes
I always liked the way that dress looked on you
The new one with the silk embroidered rose

He's going on the news
to give a speech and give 'em hell
They say that he's looking for a fight
So I think I'll turn in early,
think I'll turn off all the lights
'Cause the President is on TV tonight

The cemetary man is coming Tuesday
He said he's never seen this many folks before
We got a spot for you next to your daddy
But the stone is gonna cost a little more

He's going on the news
to give a speech and give 'em hell
They say that he's looking for a fight
So I think I'll turn in early,
think I'll turn off all the lights
'Cause the President is on TV tonight
