Lyrics

Had a friend the other day,

He got in over his head

Went out for big money

And 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 with

The things he'd done before

Never stepped on anyone,

He never came in their backdoor

But that night he broke

One of his own rules

And he went out

Knowing life can be so cruel
