[Intro]
[Verse]
Mirror image of his father before him
The notes flow through his veins
Bottom so big, you can still hear a thunder
From the Opry stage
[Verse]
Worked his first master when he was just sixteen
The boy could slap a Kay
King Edward Specials on his lip and in his pocket
He smoked it every day
[Chorus]
Hear the colors, wrapped in flannel
Forever wedged in my mind
Hear the colors, no he ain t crazy
Just run the number, here s the time
[Interlude]
[Verse]
He was a brother, husband and father
A damn good man, a rambler and a friend
So here s a song just to say farewell, rest in peace
Until we pick again
[Chorus]
Hear the colors, wrapped in flannel
Forever wedged in my mind
Hear the colors, no he ain t crazy
Just run the number, here s the time
[Bridge]
Oooh
Oooh
Oooh
Oooh
[Chorus]
Hear the colors, wrapped in flannel
Forever wedged in my mind
Hear the colors, no he ain t crazy
Just run the number, here s the time
Just run the number, here s the time
Just run the number, here s the time
[Outro]
Oooh
