Fixing Tires in Heaven

This is a song about a Pacific Northwest icon, Les Schwab. Leslie Bishop "Les" Schwab (October 3, 1917 - May 18, 2007) was an American businessman from Oregon. He was the founder of Les Schwab Tire Centers, a company which Modern Tire Dealer called "arguably the most respected independent tire store chain in the United States." A native of Oregon, he served in the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II before starting his business in 1952.

We figured he needed a song written about him.
