Lyle Lovett - Family Reserve Lyrics:

Lyrics to Family Reserve by Lyle Lovett:

Correct These Lyrics

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 second, nineteen eighty-one.

Now my uncle Wilbert
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 gray Impala

And we’re all gonna be here forever
So mama, don’t you make such a stir
Just 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;
It was peanut butter and jelly that did it,
The help, she didn’t know what to do;
She just stood there and she watched him turn blue

And we’re all gonna be here forever,
So mama, don’t you make such a stir;
Just put down that camera,
And come on and join up
The last of the family reserve.

And my friend Brian Temple,
He thought he could make it,
So from the third storey he jumped;
And he missed the swimming pool only by inches
And everyone said he was drunk.

[instrumental break]

And there was Great-Uncle Julius,
And there was Aunt Annie Miller,
And Mary, and Grand-daddy Po;
And there was Hannah, and Ella,
And Alvin, and Alec,
And he owned his own funeral home.

And there are more I remember,
And more I could mention,
And words I could write in a song;
But I feel ‘em watching,
And I see ‘em laughing,
And I hear ‘em singing along:

We’re all gonna be here forever,
So mama, don’t you make such a stir;
Just put down that camera,
And come on and join up
The last of the family reserve.
