Shelter

October Mississippi wreck
Crying newlywed in a little house
Cops said they found him on the road
Flipped his Chevrolet
His uncle called his folks

The sound of a Memphis waiting room
Wash off all the germs but not the memory
That baby died before he was one
Goodbye to your son
Goodbye to your son

Shelter, shelter
Shelter from the day
Shelter, shelter from the day

Nice vain nurses at the front
Warming up their lunch in a microwave
And a man with TV preacher hair smoking Winston Lights
Leads the caravan
My uncle fell off his own roof and broke his neck and died
No one said a thing
We went to the funeral
A stranger read some words and they played Yellow Submarine

Shelter, shelter
Shelter from the day
Shelter, shelter from the day

Oh, oh, oh

Shelter from the day
Shelter from the day
Shelter from the day
Shelter from the day
Shelter from the day
Shelter from the day
Shelter from the day
Shelter from the day
