Lyrics:

When I met him, I was at my physical and mental weakest
Suffering from deadly sickness and in suicidal pain
What he did was deeply transformative
He stole my deepest aches
Dr. Amen and Polly also my superheros
They are, of course, his protégés
I know there’s no way I could ever repay him
He always called me by my first name

With bright blue eyes
Hot pink shirts
This doctor had style
My favorite former rock star
He gave the music up
Took his hurting patients on
To ease their pain, he yearned
Breaking up the ouch, my suffering
He overturned
Will never forget Dr. Yarborough

At its worst,
My colon screamed, like it wanted to burst
But he warped my pain into motivation
To become a writer, now out the words churn
And he worked
He introduced the groundbreaking concept that all pain is in the mind
Testifying in trials
Defending defendants who the prosecution wanted to fry
And he
Transformed my darkness
Pain relief melted the stabbing
Brought the light
I’ll always remember him
As a loving grandfather
Who wanted to steal pain
Morphing countless lives
I will never forget William Yarborough
I will never forget Dr. Yarborough

Nerve pain tries to chase me daily, without ceasing
He understood that, and fought to destroy its reign
For further insights, he got me observing NeuroFlow’s trends and plots
From mood & sleep, to guided breathing, to pain & pain impact evaluation

With bright blue eyes
Hot pink shirts
This doctor had style
My favorite former rock star
He gave the music up
Took his hurting patients on
To ease their pain, he yearned
Breaking up the ouch, my suffering
He overturned
I will never forget William Yarborough

At its worst,
My colon screamed, like it wanted to burst
But he warped my pain into motivation
To become a writer, now out the words churn
And he worked
Introduced the groundbreaking concept that all pain is in the mind
Testifying in trials
Defending defendants who the prosecution wanted to fry
And he
Transformed my darkness
Pain relief melted the stabbing
Brought out the light
I’ll always remember him
As a loving grandfather
Who wanted to steal pain
Morphing countless lives
I will never forget Dr. Yarborough
I will never forget William Yarborough
I will never forget Dr. Yarborough
I will never forget William Yarborough
I will never forget Dr. Yarborough
Breaking up the ouch, my suffering
He overturned

At its worst,
My colon screamed, like it wanted to burst
But he warped my pain into motivation
To become a writer, now out the words churn
And he worked
He introduced the groundbreaking concept that all pain is in the mind
Testifying in trials
Defending defendants who the prosecution wanted to fry
And he
Transformed my darkness
Pain relief melted the stabbing
Brought out the light
I’ll always remember him
As a loving grandfather
Who wanted to steal pain
Morphing a countless number of lives
I will never forget Dr. William Yarborough
I will never forget William Yarborough
I will never forget Dr. Yarborough
Breaking up the ouch, my suffering
He overturned
