RAY LEATHER

(John Berghammer, Tom Berghammer)

As a kid I saw Ray Leather
He was our grocery bagger
And all of us would laugh
And cut the man in half

A KING TAKES A QUEEN
A LAKE TAKES A STREAM
A MAN TAKES A DREAM TO RISE UP

A working man Ray Leather
A fourth grader forever
And all of us would stare
At Ray push carts out there

A KING TAKES A QUEEN
A LAKE TAKES A STREAM
A MAN TAKES A DREAM TO RISE UP
A ROAD TAKES A TURN
A WICK TAKES A BURN
A LIFE TAKES A YEARN TO DO BETTER
RAY LEATHER

Well today I saw Ray Leather
It’s been thirty years or better
Still everyone avoids
The man who is a boy

A KING TAKES A QUEEN
A LAKE TAKES A STREAM
A MAN TAKES A DREAM TO RISE UP
A ROAD TAKES A TURN
A WICK TAKES A BURN
A LIFE TAKES A YEARN TO DO BETTER
I’LL DO BETTER
RAY LEATHER
