Song For Uncle Curt — текст песни (Tom T. Hall)

I hate to write this song I never wanted to but after all Curt writin` songs is what I do
Right now the paper`s staring at me cold and blank
Defying me to even try express my thanks
But this song is for you uncle Curt you never were my uncle ain`t that strange
This song is for you uncle Curt a name is just a name is just a name is just a name

They called and said that you had bought your final`s rout
You gave me hell right to the end and I was proud
I know some friends have wanted you to beg for life
But I knew you`d live long enough to learn to die
This song is for you uncle Curt...

I`m living down in Nashville now and writin` tunes
The neighborhood is full of trees and good saloons
I just got back from California on a plane everything is different but it`s just the same
And this song is for you uncle Curt...
Is just a name is just a name is just a name
