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 delivering round town They 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 DNR DNR DNR DNR DNR DNR Jesus wants me for a sunbeam, he raised his kids up right But bein 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 DNR DNR By no heroic measure Restart restart his heart A lonely heart was the black hole that did him in From the first attempt to his current critical condition Now were talking over who will take the dog if he's gonna make it through again And were takin' turns tell 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 DNR DNR By no heroic measure Restart restart his heart
