[Verse 1]
Winter's dark morning woke my dad
The diabetic didn't feel his feet step out of bed
The truck filled with TV dinners
Needing delivering 'round town
He would drive behind the paper boy
Throwin' them headlines out
And no antidepressant of sort
Could change the weather report
When the wind chill factor was high
He took the whole bottle down
He's got his paperwork now
[Chorus]
D-N-R, D-N-R
D-N-R, D-N-R, D-N-R, D-N-R
[Verse 2]
Jesus wants me for a sunbeam
He raised his kids up right
But bein' raised in the light of Christ
Adds insult to injury that night
Whеn the mail order brides and thе phone sex
And his negligence became real
The wall covered in spit
How's it to make your teenage daughters feel?
He called his flame that never died
She could hear something weren't right
Now we've got one more failed attempt at a suicide
Keep it right by your side
[Chorus]
D-N-R, D-N-R
(By no heroic measure
Restart, restart his heart)
D-N-R, D-N-R, D-N-R, D-N-R
[Verse 3]
A lonely heart was the black hole that did him in
From the first attempt to his current critical condition
Now we're talking over who'll take the dog
If he's gonna make it through again
And we're takin' turns tellin' him the stories
Of the good times worth rememberin'
And then my sister asked
"Are we prayin' for him to pass?"
And no one dare speak out loud, but we all knew
And pushed the paperwork through
[Chorus]
D-N-R, D-N-R
(By no heroic measure
Restart, restart his heart)
D-N-R, D-N-R, D-N-R, D-N-R
D-N-R, D-N-R, D-N-R, D-N...
