ENJOY EVERY SANDWICH – A TRIBUTE TO WARREN ZEVON
By: Jim Buckley (Inspired by my Hero: Warren Zevon)
I saw Warren Zevon on the Letterman Show, not long before he died, He sang that song about Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner with the Grim Reaper standing right by his side, and when the show was over, Dave turned to Warren and he asked, Warren Buddy what have you learned, Warren didn’t hesitate, no he answered real fast, “Enjoy Every Sandwich”,
Warren’s right, Enjoy Every Sandwich, Enjoy Every Bite, Enjoy Every Day and Enjoy Every Night,
If the Werewolves are howling and the Gorilla’s got my keys,
Send Lawyers Guns and Money, someone help Poor Pitiful Me,
The Excitable Boy who left us with The Wind,
Said Please Keep Me In Your Heart Awhile,
So let’s sing his songs again,
Sing a song for Warren, and all the others who are gone,
We’ve got to keep them in our hearts,
That’s where they belong,
So Enjoy Every Sandwich, Enjoy Every Bite, Enjoy Every Day and Enjoy Every Night, Enjoy Every Sandwich, this one may be your last, time goes by so quickly, our lives go by too damn fast, So Enjoy Every Sandwich, Enjoy Every Bite, Enjoy Every Day, and Enjoy Every Night, Warren was Right!
