1. Bruce Berry was a workin' man,
he used to load that Econoline Van.
A sparkle was in his eyes, but his life was in his hand.
Well, late at night when the people were gone,
he used to pick up my guitar,
and sing a song in a shaky voice
that was real as the day was long. + REFRAIN

2. Early in the mornin' at the break of day,
he used to sleep until the afternoon.
If you never heard him sing,
I guess you won't too soon.
'Cause people, let me tell you,
it sent a chill up and down my spine
when I picked up the telephone
and heard that he died out on the mainline. + REFRAIN

3. Bruce Berry was a workin' man,
he used to load that Econoline Van.
But early in the mornin', just about the break of day,
he used to sleep until the afternoon. + REFRAIN (3x)...
