Five Men in Black

You always were something special,
I was glad to be your friend
But where you put down your boot,
Trouble took root and trials no end.

You had that Michigan consternation,
And it's true it wouldn't let you be
Darkness did fall every time you did call,
From which you could not break free

Well you left things half finished.
You had that truck, truck driver's heart,
And as much as you cried you were lost inside,
Never quite found the part, oh to make a start.

It took five men in black just to hold me back
The day you went to your grave
Now I know you are gone but this thing lingers on
There is still so much to save, now you've done gone and gave it away

You know it's easy for others to judge you,
To say you selfishly took your life
I am dying here in mixed up despair
And nothing, nothing, feels right, oh not tonight

It took five men in black just to hold me back
The day you went to your grave
Now I know you are gone but this thing lingers on,
With still so much to save, but you've done gone and gave it away

Oh and when we have nothing, but convenience store minds
Oh and if we don't like the truth, well we just say we're fine.
I am holding on, I am holding on, so tightly to grace,
Like I'm the last one in this place.

It took five men in black just to hold me back
The day you went to your grave
Now I know you are gone but this thing lingers on,
With still so much to save, but you've done gone,
Oh you've done gone, oh you've done gone and gave it away.
