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

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

DNR DNR DNR

DNR DNR DNR

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 s*x 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

By no heroic measure

DNR

Restart restart his heart

DNR DNR DNR DNR

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 tell him the stories

Of the good times worth remembering

And then my sister asked

Are we praying for him to pass

And no one dared speak out loud but we all knew

And pushed the paperwork through

DNR

By no heroic measure

DNR

Restart restart his heart

DNR DNR DNR

DNR DNR DNR
