Toothpick Louis

(专辑： The New Black & White Pt. III - 2017)

So long old cowboy, goodbye my friend
Guess I'll see you again
I'll cherish your stories
I'll tell all your jokes like they're mine

With your rolled up sleeves and your head in the wind
You could do anything
Selling the flowers, you painted the houses
And you sang like a king

Toothpick Louis, your hair is a mess
But your smile is just fine
You brought me the laughter and tears
Daddy of mine

You sat at the front porch with the dog by your side
Saw the world passing by
Complained to the neighbors about the weather
Told the story of your life

You came from a time when living was easy
Now everything's so fast
People stopped talking and you thought of leaving
Now that's all in the past

Toothpick Louis, your hair is a mess
But your smile is just fine
You brought me the laughter and tears
Daddy of mine

The magnolia in autumn is losing its leaves
It's setting them free
I hope where you're going, they are in bloom
And forever will be

Toothpick Louis, your hair is a mess
But your smile is just fine
You brought me the laughter and tears
Daddy of mine
