Picked up the paper this morning
Could not believe what I saw
A friend of mine was killed
Runnin' from the law

I could still see the face of my old friend
In the picture that stared back at me
And through the tears I went back through the years to remember
The times that we were

Playin' pirates in the school yard, singin'
Soldiers in the fields
We were dreamin'
Brothers in blood 'til the very end

We were best of friends
Best of friends
Always hang together, forever
Thought we'd always be that way
But in time you grow up
And you slip away

It was thirteen years since I'd seen him
This man that I no longer knew
His mother, god bless her
Asked me if I'd say a word or two
Say Hello Say Goodbye Lyrics
The costumes, the scenery that make up the props The audience that lifts you when you're down The headaches, the heartaches, the packing, the flops The sheriff who escorts you out
