Lyrics

I remember the year that Clayton Delaney died

Save for the last two weeks, he suffered and cried

Made a big impression on me, but I was just a barefoot kid

They say he found religion at the end and I'm glad that he did

Clayton was the best guitar picker in our town

I thought that he was a hero

I followed him around

I often wondered why Clayton

Who seemed so good to me

Never took his guitar and played it down in Tennessee

Yeah, my Daddy said he drank a lot, I never understand

Well, I knew he used to pick up in Ohio with a five-piece band

Clayton used to tell me, "Son

Best put that guitar away

There ain't no money in it

Leads you to an early grave"

I guess if I'll admit it

Clayton taught me how to drink booze

I can see him half-starved picking out the lovesick blues

Clayton died, I made him a promise

I would go on somehow

I'd give a hundred bucks if he could see me now

Uh-huh

I remember the year that Clayton Delaney died

Well, nobody ever knew it

I went out in the woods and I cried

And I know there's lots of good preachers

Who knew a lot more than I do

But I wonder if the good Lord likes a little pickin' too

I bet he does

I remember the year that Clayton Delaney died

Yes, I remember the year that Clayton Delaney died

Yes, I remember the year that Clayton Delaney died

Oh, I remember the year that Clayton Delaney died

I remember
