about

This song was written for one of my best friends Peter Kucparic, who committed suicide in 2006.

lyrics

Well My Old Friend

Well my old friend what made you fall?
Was it heartbreak in the springtime
or just living with right or wrong?
Well my old friend you could have seen another sun rise
with a few of us fellow dreamers before you wrote your last goodbye.

(chorus)
We rode along these dark old streets
seems the neighbours knew us well.
Singing in the drunken morning tradition
guitars ringing like the sacred bells.
We drove that old highway once back down to my hometown.
With all these years I have left to be living
I ain't ever gonna live you down.
I ain't ever gonna live you down.

Life ain't always easy
seems there's always something wrong.
Whether the money is rolling in
or your last cold dollar is gone.
There's always birds singing in the brand new day
whether or not that sun is shining
or if there's hell to pay.

(chorus)

I made you a promise to see you again.
The last time I saw you
and yes we were still friends.
I can't be much of a friend to this cold and lonesome urn.
So I'll be seeing my good buddy Peter
when the Lord gives me my turn.

(chorus)
