And He said, I’ve got the soul of an old man,
but I’ve got the mind of a child and yes I will be wild, for I love that child
Stood six foot four in the door way, crossing other states of mind,
Yes, He’s doing fine, He’s just doing time
Man of God, man of Wealth, had no God or Penny to his name,
He said “I think I’m Insane, for nothing will satisfy my brain”
He said,
“Some will fall and some will fight”
“We will burn this whole damn thing tonight”
“We will come back in the end”
“My friend, My friend”
Had this locket with his girl Jane,
Oh they met one evening in a bar, fell in love outside of his car
Fell in love for the first time at the age of sixty-one,
Oh they’d had their lifetimes of fun, but their new lives had just begun
They said,
“Some will fall and some will fight”
“We will burn this whole damn thing tonight”
“We will come back in the end”
“My friend, My friend”
They were married in September on the San Jacinto line,
And Jane looked so fine as they sipped their wine
They got clean together on the spot, no relapses or redo’s
They said, “We know what we have to do, if we want to be with each other so soon”
Next thing she said He’ll never forget, as she pressed her hand against his cheek,
She said “My dear you are not weak, my dear I love you but please don’t speak”
She said,
“Some will fall and some will fight”
“We will burn this whole damn thing tonight”
“We will come back in the end”
“My friend, My friend”
“Some will fall and some will fight”
“We will burn this whole damn thing tonight”
“We will come back in the end”
“My friend, My friend”
“My friend, My friend”
