Name: Goodbye Carl
Duration: P00H02M50S
Description: Carl Perkins - Mr. Blue Suede Shoes and Sun Records star. Carl Wilson - the Beach Boy with the angelic voice and Chuck Berry guitar moves. They died within six weeks of one another in the first months of 1998. I have a deep respect and admiration for both men's musical accomplishments. This song is a tribute to their legacy.

lyrics

GOODBYE CARL by K. Dennis

Goodbye Carl
The sun will never set on you
You were more
More than just a pair of blue suede shoes
Get your cat clothes on
Get down to the tonk to get dixie fried

Goodbye Carl
God only knows what we'll do now
The trader sails on
Taking the myth around the world
Take that long promised road
Down to the beach where the feel flows

Goodbye Carl...
