Had a friend the other day he got in over his head
Went out for big money and he wound up lying dead
They stabbed him in the back as he was to get his share
And he went out knowing life can be unfair
Oh friend why did you try so hard to pretend
That you could beat your own gut feelings in the end
Oh we're gonna miss you round here good old friend
He'd always been so careful bout the things he'd done before
Never stepped on anyone he never came in their back door
But that night he broke one of his own rules
And he went out knowing life can be so cruel
Old friend why did you try so hard to pretend
That you could beat your own gut feelings in the end
Oh we're gonna miss you round here good old friend
