How many times do we pass an accident scene, drive by and then forget about it 1/2 hour later? This talented writer put the experience into an unforgettable song. In just a few minutes time, he describes the persona and character of the victim and the hopelessness of his life. "no next of kin to notify, a blanket as his shroud"...powerful, well-chosen words. The organ in the background provides great accompaniment to this track. Great play on words, no last rites/he had no rights at all. Another fav lyric: broken windshield diamonds. Fantastic word picture!
