My friend David was a good kid
Had my back, I always knew he did
And he was different than most
Maybe I was too
Hangin' out with the in crowd just wasn't our thing
There was a whole lot more than we could see on these plains
Some people just seem to get stuck around
Now it's college or trade school for those with means
There's never been any small town for those in between
Yeah, the poor folk, they go to work, or they go to war
I did fifteen hundred days in the corp
When I got back nothing looked the same anymore
I got on with the local police, it just seemed to fit
Things had changed
ย
By then David had a daughter and a son
And a rap sheet to prove all the time that he'd done
And he was just a burned out, beat down shell
My old friend
On a three-day binge, he was speeding through town
I bumped the wailers and tried to slow him down
He didn't know that it was me and he took off
Oh, how things change
I found his truck in the flood plain 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
And the only thing to make matters worse
That his mom was a late night ER nurse
And he was DOA
She just about lost her mind
ย
David's wife drops by here once in a while
Childhood stories always make her smile
Somehow we always go back to that day
I found his truck in the flood plain 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
And the only thing to make matters worse
That his mom was a late night ER nurse
And he was DOA
She just about lost her mind
Ain't it the times
