Dump Truck Lyrics

I Certainly Wont argue whether or not there are Drug References within the lyrics of this Song, I can say for Certain what the Folling Lyrics Mean :

"Burned a hand of a friend of mine And Bub I know that you could fly a mile high You told me nothing's ever gonna come between Nothing's ever gonna come between Nothing's ever gonna come between

My dumptruck and me"

This Refers to a Friend of Shannon's From High School who was Nicknamed "Bub". After High School Bub Took a Job Driving a DumpTruck for The County. Bub Found out He Had Cancer Shortly after, and passed away Quickly...and Yes, There is a Picture of He and Shannon Togethor, and Bub Has a Bandage on His Hand. Not sure what they were doing, But when Shannon says "Burned a Hand of a friend of Mine", He meant it quite literally. Dumptruck is a Tribute to a Fallen friend of His. RIP Shannon and Bub!

quite possible, since all those lines were added to the original text....
