The man who coined the four greatest lines in country & western has died at age 86.
Well, I was drunk the day my mom got out of prison
And I went to pick her up in the rain
But before I could get to the station in my pickup truck
She got runned over by a da*ned old train
He lived a rough life, but for the joy that he gave many of us, rest in peace, Mr. Coe. And on the light side, I really enjoyed those four lines when I lived in Waseca, home of the federal women's correctional facility, which of course should have become the home of Hilliary Clinton. Waseca, home of about 9000 souls (including the prison if memory serves), had 18 bars, two rail lines, and of course, a prison where Mom could be picked up.
