Coronary Life

Kevin Ray

Kevin at the kitchen table

Short of breath, legally disabled

Wife walks in she's so surprised

So dissapointed I'm still alive

I say I'm hungry for biscuits and gravy

But patty melts that you always made me

And I can't eat them, anymore



Chorus 1:

They say greese kills, taste good to me

Day in, day out, it's all I eat

A third by-pass, unclog the bile

Just to clog them again

Never felt worst, a constant thirst

Lordy how my mouth dun hurts

I blame my job, I blame my wife

For this coronary life



Kevin on the E.R. table

My vital signs ain't too stable

Hey doc, I'm proud of you

I didn't think that I'd pull through

And later in intensive care

I have the nurses laughing there

So thankful blue-cross will pay



Chorus 2:

For the pills, my IV's

A thousand dollar E.K.G

And that's the last

Time I'll need angioplasty

It's off I go, too tae-boe

To improve my cardio

Guess 'bout time I said goodbye

To my coronary life



Sweat pourin' off me at the health spa

That old stair master wore me out again

You know I can't believe how much I've missed

The way I used to live



Chorus 3:

I'd eat red meat

Pickled pigs feet

Always craving something sweet

My food was fast

But that's the past

I can't eat them again

Arobicize, reduce my thighs

No more german chocolate pies

I miss my fudge, I miss my pies

And my coronary life
