about

Her favorite artist was Hunter S. Thompson.

She loved the Doors.

Her grandpa was the one who showed her the way of the cowboy aesthetic, and when she was young, he taught her how to dance to "You Look So Good In Love" by George Strait.

She always had something positive and uplifting to say to people, even though she was suffering through as much as she was. I aspire to be as kind and as thoughtful as she was even on her bad days.

lyrics

Adorn her head with wildflowers. Plant her in the ground.
An armament of whiskey sours couldn't help me now.
The last night we were close I shouldn't have gone home.
How could I have known that it would be the last we spoke?

"I want no more than to be with Slug Bones," I'm pleading to God.
As hopeless as I know it to be, that doesn't stop me.
Without her around I know the world just won't be the same.
I'd go in her stead if it meant she would remain.

Decapitation, death, castration; things I'd prefer
over waking any day where I have come to outlive her.
She deserved a better life, and not to die at twenty-nine.
I'd kill to buy her some time. She could have the rest of mine.

There's no sign of this getting better.
I'd sell my soul if it meant I'd get her again.
Slug Bones was the one who gave me
sight of the hope that I haven't seen around lately at all.
