When Daddy told me what happened   I couldn't believe what he just said   Sunny shot himself with a 44   And they found him lyin' on his bed      I could not speak a single word   No tears streamed down my face   I just sat there on the living room couch   Starin' off into space      Mama and Daddy went over to the house   To see what had to be done   They took the sheets off of the bed   And they went to call someone      Some of us gathered at a friend's house   To help each other ease the pain   I just sat alone in a corner chair   I couldn't say much of anything      We drove on out to the country   His friends all stood around   Subiaco cemetery   Is where we lay him down      I saw his mama, she was standin' there   His sister, she was there too   I saw them look at us standin' around the grave   And not a soul they knew      Born and raised in Pineola   His mama believed in the Pentecost   She got the preacher to say some words   So his soul wouldn't be lost      Some of us, we stood in silence   Some bowed their heads and prayed   I think I must've picked up a handful of dust   And let it fall over his grave      I think I must've picked up a handful of dust   And let it fall over his grave
