David |
| My friend David was a good kid |
| He had my back, always knew he did |
| He was different than most |
| And maybe I was too |
| Hanging out with the in-crowd just wasn’t our thing |
| There was a whole lot more |
| Than we could see on these plains |
| Well, some people just seem to get stuck, and hang around |
| It’s college or trade school for those with the means |
| There’s never been any small town dreams |
| For those in between |
| Yeah the poor folks they go to work, or they go to war |
| I did fifteen hundred days in the Corps |
| And I got back, nothing looked the same anymore |
| I got on with the local police, it just seemed to fit |
| Things have changed |
| By then David had a daughter and a son |
| And a rap sheet to prove all the time that he’d done |
| He was just a burned out, beat down shell of my old friend |
| And on a three-day binge he was speeding through town |
| And I bumped the wailers just to try to slow him down |
| He didn’t know it was me, and he took off |
| Oh how things change |
| And I found his truck in the floodplain upside down |
| It was a hell of a rain I don’t know if he drowned |
| Or if he died on impact, must have rolled three times |
| Yeah, the only thing to make matters worse |
| Is that his mama’s a late night ER nurse |
| And he was DOA, she just about lost her mind |
| David’s wife drops by every once in a while |
| And childhood stories always make her smile |
| But somehow we always go back to that day |
| When I found his truck in the floodplain upside down |
| It was a hell of a rain, I don’t know if he drowned |
| Or if he died on impact, it must have rolled three times |
| Yeah, the only thing to make matters worse |
| Is that his mama’s a late night ER nurse |
| And he was DOA, she just about lost her mind |
| And ain’t it the times? |
