Gordie called me the strongest man
My 7 still hangs in the hall
4 mugs with the Buds, twenty plus seasons
My name plastered on every wall
But with great strength comes weakness within
A storybook life with hidden demons
Double double DUI
I'm gone in the blink of an eye
Blasting my Pantera
Through the corner of St. Kitts
These days, I'm not gonna lie
My behaviour wouldn't fly
Half a bottle of vodka by my side
Instead of a double double, DUI
Swept under the rug was the rule of the day
30 years the papers hid my shame
It was a fatal sin, now I can't roll up the rim
And Ronny's laughing all the way to the bank
It's a Good thing I'm not like the pros today
Most are under motivated, and overpaid!
Although it was a tragedy
The outcome seeming fair
Dynasty weight on shoulders
More weight than I could bare
I just didn't lose my life
I lost the whole franchise
I chose Pure Thrill over reaching for
My double double, DUI
Just a single car accident
It made the whole thing sadly adequate
It's sad and ironic and true
And a sobering thought too
The whole damn thing could have been avoided
If I stopped at my own drive thru
Instead I'm lying here
At least I feel no pain or fear
Where will my legacy reside?
The booze and pills found in stark contrast
To all the good things I've done in my past
Will they take my name off the sign?
Or will I only be remembered for my Double double DUI?
Verdict, forgive and forget
Before I was a household name
Now I'm a global brand
My last bit of advice
Although my coffee ain't the best
You've always got time, for
When you're in trouble
So order up a double double
Sober up (are these slogans subtle?)
At the place where it's always fresh
