about

Resurrected. Jhwell for Jason and Tom Petty

lyrics

Big Dan was a jhwell of a man
Stood about 7’5”.
Woke up every morning
And he took on the day,
He was happy to be alive!
Well, I don’t know what killed him.
Some say it was his good looks.
But when his debts were paid
And his bills were laid
He gave away more than he took.

It took 16 men to carry him down
His coffin was 10 feet long.
Had to put the casket on a semi-truck
‘cause a hearse just wasn’t that strong.
The day he died, the women cried,
The men just stood around stunned.
But the wind kept blowing
And the weeds kept growing
And the river kept rolling on.

The river kept rolling on,
The river kept rolling on.
The winds kept blowing
And the weeds kept growing
And the river kept rolling on.

I heard the word on the street today
Big Dan was back in town.
His good clothes looked a little worse for wear
And dirty from being in the ground.
I can’t look him in the eye
When I see him shambling around.
But winds kept blowing
And the weeds kept growing
And the river kept rolling on.

The river kept rolling on,
The river kept rolling on.
The winds kept blowing
And the weeds kept growing
And the river kept rolling on.

"lately, live Flatfoot has been all about out-rocking the competition knees and elbows flailing wildly and somebody (it doesnt seem to matter who) howling a campfire tale gone wrong into the microphone." Cale Sauter, Lansing City Pulse.

Flatfoot is Dan Amori, Aaron Bales, Tom Green and Thomas McCartan. We love the twangy soul and the rock 'n roll. ... more
