Family Reserve

When I saw the ambulance screaming down Main Street I didn't give it a thought But it was my Uncle Eugene He died on October the 2nd, 1981 And my Uncle Wilbur They all called him Skinner And they said for his younger ways He'd get drunk in the morning And show me the rolls of fifties and hundreds He kept in the glove box of his old grey Impala Chorus: And we're all gonna be here forever So Mama don't you make such a stir Put down that camera And come on and join up The last of the family reserve Now my second cousin his name was Calloway He died when he'd barely turned two And it was peanut butter and jelly what did it The help she didn't know what to do She just stood there and she watched him turn blue Chorus And my friend Brian Temple he thought he could make it So from the third story he jumped And he missed the swimming pool But only by inches And everyone said he was drunk Chorus And there was great Uncle Julius and there was Aunt Annie Miller And Mary and Grandaddy Paul And there was Hannah and Ella and Alvin and Attic And he owned his own funeral home And there are more I remember and more I could mention Than words I could write in this song But I feel them watching and I see them laughing And I, I hear them singing along Chorus
