lyrics

Layman layman engineer
Had to show those school boys how it's done
But his plaque was hidden in his rubbish
Also hung at the Smithsonian

His upbringing in primitive Baptist
Kept him humble to an extreme
Wish I could have known you but that's a dream

Great stories surface from your daughter
The legend of Lynn it does loom
Sleepwalking to slumber with the livestock
Hyperactive feeding the furnace in the school room

We could have talked about football
Pros and cons of Steve McNair
Layman engineer you're soul glows in the air

Don't do as good a job as I should
Adulthood doesn't suit me well
Taking care of your grandson and your daughter
I want to do better you compel

I hope it honors you, my belated tear
See you in him and her
Poked a hole in this cold cold heart
Layman engineer

Layman layman engineer
Lynn could build it have no fear
Was told he never knew a stranger
Layman layman engineer

We could have talked about football
Pros and cons of Steve McNair
Layman engineer you're soul glows in the air
