Dnr
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 deliverin' '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
D.N.R, D.N.R
D.N.R, D.N.R, D.N.R, D.N.R
Jesus wants me for a sunbeam, he raised his kids up right
But being raised in the light of Christ adds insult to injury, that night
When the mail order brides and the 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
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
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 will take the dog, if he's gonna make it through again
And we're taking 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 dared speak out loud but we all knew
And pushed the paperwork through
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.R, D.N
