They don’t make men like Andy Griffith anymore
Mayberry is all dead and gone
Opie I’ll meet you by the swimming hole
We can play all day long
Old men teach little boys to fight wars
It’s just a fact, it’s what we do
All this hatred and violence in the world is giving me the blues
I saw my mama get beat again
He put her head right through the door
Daddy always cleaned his guns in front of me
So I shut down my heart and I turned on my tv
They don’t make men like Andy Griffith anymore
Mayberry is all dead and gone
Opie I’ll meet you by the swimming hole
We can play all day long
I saw the devil in my daddy’s eyes
He left part of that devil inside of me
If there’s a god out there
Won’t you take this cup away from me
They don’t make men like Andy Griffith anymore
Mayberry is all dead and gone
Opie I’ll meet you by the swimming hole
We can play all day long
My stomach begins to bleed
F rom all the pills and the liquor that took the best parts of me
My shadow it runs fast
The closer I get to death the closer I am to free
They don’t make men like Andy Griffith anymore
Mayberry is all dead and gone
Opie I’ll meet you by the swimming hole
We can play all day long
