Back in the year of ‘23

I woke to find a friend of mine was gone

Around the bend, behind the veil

Out into the next life had moved on

.

But it always seemed to me that where he was

Was right where he belonged

So, I’d like to think he’s alright now

And I’d like to say goodbye to him in song

.

I still cannot believe that he was shot

And it makes me wonder why it had to be

He was a dude I liked a lot

He would call you out right there on the spot, you see?

He was always a good ol’ boy to me

. 

Perhaps it’s through his kids he’ll be coming through

Or perhaps in ways, I know not how

Perhaps it is that no one fills his shoes

.

Even though I’m alive and well, I know

That my time is coming, too

Perhaps in years; perhaps tonight

Perhaps it is now friend I see you soon

.

I still cannot believe that he got shot

And it makes me wonder why things have to be 

He was a dude I like a lot

He’d call you out right there on the spot, you see?

He was always a good ol’ boy to me
