[INTRO]
Oh, Lou, oh Lou,
We gather here for you,
In memory, in spirit,
You're driving on skies so blue.
[VERSE 1]
Good Ol’ Lou, you’re free at last,
No more shadows of the past.
Dementia stole what could not last,
But your soul broke through, now you're moving fast.
On heaven streets in that sweet Chevelle,
You’re cruising high, oh can’t you tell?
With each turn of that steering wheel,
You’re living the dreams, the love you feel.
[CHORUS]
Oh, Lou, oh Lou,
You’ll never be forgotten,
You’re smiling wide, eternally free,
In that hotrod angel shine,
Lou, you’re better than ever,
Every gear shift a sacred line.
[VERSE 2]
Damn tire kickers, always in your way,
But you’d smile and say, "Just a color’d fella,"
You kept on pushing through every day,
In the heart of Ohio, where legends dwell.
You worked the lots, through sun and rain,
Hardwood dreams, you bore the strain.
Now the big sleep is a gentle breeze,
In the warm embrace of golden leaves.
[CHORUS]
Oh, Lou, oh Lou,
You’ll never be forgotten,
You’re smiling wide, eternally free,
In that hotrod angel shine,
Lou, you’re better than ever,
Every gear shift a sacred line.
[BRIDGE]
With Hank Senior in your heart,
And John Wayne guiding your way,
A red-blooded soul with eternal spark,
Now you dance in the sun all day.
You’re an Ohio original, racing the skies,
In the kingdom of dreams where love never dies.
[CHORUS]
Oh, Lou, oh Lou,
You’ll never be forgotten,
You’re smiling wide, eternally free,
In that hotrod angel shine,
Lou, you’re better than ever,
Every gear shift a sacred line.
[OUTRO]
So we raise a glass and toast to you,
Good Ol' Lou, in skies so blue.
With love and laughter, you’ll always remain,
In our hearts, you’ll live again.
Oh, Lou, oh Lou, drive on, drive on,
