Notes

Manifesto Dad could work it all, the rig, the saw The M-16 with "The Walking Dead" But he packed it all in for a Yellow Rose and kids When he said "adios" to Vietnam Between furloughs and firings and early retirement There was meat & gravy on our plates And no machine shop's gonna run itself Just because your hair's all gray Hell, what have I ever done? My Dad fought off the Viet Cong & All I do is bow bluegrass & blues I hope you like it some [From Justin A. Brummer notes from RYM]
