Alex
Alex was my first best friend
"Gonna see the world," is what he always said
And I begged him, "Take me with you"
Alex played guitar and I sang
We were gonna be in a rock 'n roll band
Dreaming was the only way out
Small town and alcohol
Our parents sold their goddam souls
And we were so angry
A single tear from his blue eye
As he looked at me and he said goodbye
I promised I would never forget
Alex said to his dad,
"If you ever lay your hands on my mom again,
I swear I will kill you, man"
Alex came home through the kitchen door
Found his mom lying on the floor
Then he grabbed that knife
His lawyer claimed self-defense
But Alex never showed any signs of regret
So the judge he said "life"
A single tear from his blue eye
As he looked at me and he said goodbye
I promised I would never forget
How we used to ride our bikes down to the lake
Write songs about the love we'd make
Watch the fire burn deep against the cold
We promised right then to never grow old
The way the starlight how it hit the waves
Just like diamonds shining in a miner's cave
We danced naked with no regrets
I promised I would never forget
"Gonna see the world," is what he always said
And I begged him, "Take me with you"
Alex played guitar and I sang
We were gonna be in a rock 'n roll band
Dreaming was the only way out
Small town and alcohol
Our parents sold their goddam souls
And we were so angry
A single tear from his blue eye
As he looked at me and he said goodbye
I promised I would never forget
Alex said to his dad,
"If you ever lay your hands on my mom again,
I swear I will kill you, man"
Alex came home through the kitchen door
Found his mom lying on the floor
Then he grabbed that knife
His lawyer claimed self-defense
But Alex never showed any signs of regret
So the judge he said "life"
A single tear from his blue eye
As he looked at me and he said goodbye
I promised I would never forget
How we used to ride our bikes down to the lake
Write songs about the love we'd make
Watch the fire burn deep against the cold
We promised right then to never grow old
The way the starlight how it hit the waves
Just like diamonds shining in a miner's cave
We danced naked with no regrets
I promised I would never forget
