lyrics:
i got to thinking today about a good friend of mine and i
decided that he deserved a song
then i got to thinking ‘bout the old days in Park Rapids
where we were pissing off the Newmans
aw, well i wanna tell this guy that i miss his company
well he’s a good friend indeed
you know that in our day, a friend is a precious commodity
it’s an all too precious rarity
oh well my brother how things have truly changed
but never for the worse
oh well my brother how we played those rebel beats
i don’t regret a single verse
as i was sitting in my folding chair
i was thinking ‘bout A Better Place
oh and that guy who jumped on stage with us and played and i
felt a subtle sadness there
well i remember when you told me that he’d passed away
died of liver failure
whether right or not
we played and smoked punk and pot
and i had never played that 1,2 beat
oh well my brother how things have truly changed
but never for the worse
oh well my brother how we played those rebel beats
i don’t regret a single verse
whether right or not
we played and smoked punk and pot
and i had never played that 1,2 beat
