Song for Hunter Thompson

lyrics

They called him
The southern gentleman

Bats up in the sky
Bats up in the air
When you get real high
Bats are everywhere

One more cigarette
One more page to write
One more morning sun
Interrupts the night

Deadline
You got beat the deadline
The sun is my deadlne

On the campaign trail
Nixon on the cross
Hunter lead the way
Truth at any cost

Room service for one please
Bring up several entres
4 bottles of champaign
Grapefruit on the side
An eight ball of cocaine
Writing gets me high

Deadline
You gotta beat the deadline
Up against a deadline

Woody Creek at night
A shotgun blast was heard
This won't hurt a bit
Were his last written words

Hunter you were right
America the dream
Never had a chance
After what you'd seen

Deadline
Up against the deadline
Do not cross the deadline

Hunter you were strong

They called him
The southern gentleman
