1. ROUGH ON THE LIVING
   Shel Silverstein
   His picture was in all the papers.
   They said that a legend had passed.
   The late evenin’ news did a special report
   And swore that hem’ry would last.
   They’re playin’ his records all weekend,
   Praisin’ the life that he led.
   Nashville is rough on the livin’,
   But she really speaks well of the dead.
   The wife that they interviewed cryin’
   Is the same one who left him last fall,
   And the record producer who called him a hero
   Is the one who wouldn’t answer his calls.
   And the ladies they sit over coffee
   Braggin’ ’bout sharin’ his bed.
   They didn’t want him around when he’s livin’,
   But he’s sure a good friend when he’s dead.
   They observed twenty seconds of silence
   At the opry on Saturday night,
   And they’re searchin’ the bars and the basements
   For some souvenir of his life.
   They’re plannin’ the book for September,
   Showin’ his plain country roots,
   And they’re sellin’ the rights to the movie,
   And the Hall of Fame’s gettin’ his boots.
   At the funeral somebody recited a poem
   That told how he suffered and bled.
   Nashville is rough on the livin’,
   But she really speaks well of the dead.
