Cams' Caskets
Cam’s Caskets: Ray Scott
There was a kind and bushy ol’ mustached man, out on mail route 59
Retired casket A-Z driver, went by the name of Cam
Sometimes he’d walk along with me, to get some exercise
Then suddenly, cancer came back, wife Barbie said he died
They had a son, young Cody, who they lost long ago
Memorial of a goalie, out front, every Christmas time
I guess I’ll never see Cams’ fireworks in spring, this year
When wife Barbie said he passed away I couldn’t stop my tears, ah no
Woah no.
Awe no
It all happened too fast
He told me, he was doin’ just fine!
And it’s eighteen wheels all a rollin’
Carryin’ those caskets on home
All the funeral parlors a’ closin’
But Cams’ gonna’ get there on time
Cams’ casket will be just fine
We’ve seen rough times, now darker days are forcing us inside
We isolate and quarantine and I’m listening to Prine, I’m cryin’
Still, each day I take the letters up cams’ long driveway
My head hung low to the letter box, not knowing what to say
‘Cuz we always answer questions on our own, inside our minds
Ahh no
I just don’t know
Why oh why, did he have to go!
And it’s eighteen wheels still rollin’
Carryin’ them caskets on home
All the funeral parlors are closing
But Cams’ casket will be on time
Cause Cams’ memory’s doing just fine
Cam n’ Cody, drivin’ on down the highway in our minds
Cam’s caskets will be on time
Cams’ caskets always arrive, on time
