Older Man on a Stretcher

from Everyone's Okay by Kevin Dickerson

/

lyrics

I listened to Marc Maron's Joanna Newson interview
They talked about their doctor parents and her harp and her music
And the little hippie town she grew up in

And how one particular dude growing marijuana
Fed his weed plants special yogurt
It made me laugh out loud at the gym

Then something happened and someone called the paramedics
And two fire trucks pulled up alongside Noe Street
They carried in a stretcher and someone needed help but I couldn’t see

And I turned around and there he was
An older man: too skinny, tattoos, and he looked really pale
But he had a smile on his face
He didn't seem worried about it
He just smiled and they wheeled him away
And he stayed in my mind all day

I got plums from the market and a bouquet of flowers
And I went home and played an eight-string guitar
