The Lost Trailers - Favorite Friends lyrics
[The Lost Trailers - Favorite Friends lyrics]
We couldn't leave the woods 'til
The bottle was done
Then we'd all go fishing in
The dusk bitten sun not old enough to drive
But we knew if we could
We'd have all the women in our neighborhood
But we never thought that one
Of us would go away
No, we never dreamed that we
Might cry on teenage graves
The fairytale ends with the loss
Of our favorite friend
Well, the funeral was nice
Or that's what you're supposed to say
We all sat together staring out into grey
It was hard to believe that
Out of five faithful friends
Four were left broken while one rode the wind
And the nights out on the town
Fell few and far between
Cause all we talked about was how
Great things used to be
Our innocence ends with the loss
Of our favorite friend
It seems like the best of us
Always fall to early grace
And the road will keep rolling on
But angels are hard to replace
I guess it was crazy luck
To have someone like that to lose
But he couldn't stay long, God
Must have missed him, too
Now Charlie is in college, and I hit the road
And Al is building churches in New Mexico
Steve is running from the law
But that's nothing new
We all say we'll meet back
Home but we never do
And the woods burned down long ago
The old neighborhood is gone
And I can't get drunk no more
Cause I hate drinking alone
But I know in the end we'll
Get back to our favorite friends
Cause life is much better when it
Is shared with our favorite friends
The bottle was done
Then we'd all go fishing in
The dusk bitten sun not old enough to drive
But we knew if we could
We'd have all the women in our neighborhood
But we never thought that one
Of us would go away
No, we never dreamed that we
Might cry on teenage graves
The fairytale ends with the loss
Of our favorite friend
Well, the funeral was nice
Or that's what you're supposed to say
We all sat together staring out into grey
It was hard to believe that
Out of five faithful friends
Four were left broken while one rode the wind
And the nights out on the town
Fell few and far between
Cause all we talked about was how
Great things used to be
Our innocence ends with the loss
Of our favorite friend
It seems like the best of us
Always fall to early grace
And the road will keep rolling on
But angels are hard to replace
I guess it was crazy luck
To have someone like that to lose
But he couldn't stay long, God
Must have missed him, too
Now Charlie is in college, and I hit the road
And Al is building churches in New Mexico
Steve is running from the law
But that's nothing new
We all say we'll meet back
Home but we never do
And the woods burned down long ago
The old neighborhood is gone
And I can't get drunk no more
Cause I hate drinking alone
But I know in the end we'll
Get back to our favorite friends
Cause life is much better when it
Is shared with our favorite friends
