Lyrics:

A snake is like a memory
Half is gone before you see
Gone before you can think to run
A snake is like a memory

I'd like to shake hands with a snake
I don't care what you people say
'Cause if I had my take between a dollar and a snake
I'd take the snake any day

A snake is like a memory
Half is gone before you see
Gone before you can think to run
A snake is like a memory

I'd go to church with a snake
We'd sit back on our tails and sway
Eternity don't make that much difference to a snake
Forever is a hot summer day

A snake is like a memory
Half is gone before you see
Gone before you can think to run
A snake is like a memory

I'd go to town with a snake
We'd hang out in the parking lot
Snakes don't care that much for chain stores and such
But they appreciate a nice big sunny spot

A snake is like a memory
Half is gone before you see
Gone before you can think to run
A snake is like a memory
