Sail Away

Hey
Years ago, I met a man
I said greetings, and I shook his hand
But I never knew, that man would change my life
We hung around for a couple days
And we blazed, I met his wife
And although they smiled
I knew that something wasn't right
One Sunday night, we watched a fight
And we tossed a couple back, and we shared a doobie
I smiled, and told my friend, "Goodnight"
To my surprise, I opened my eyes
I had to fight, to stop my anxious cries
'Cause that night, my old amigo took his life

But still I pray today won't come to goodbyes
But I guess, that's what this is
As you sail away
I pray, I see you all again
It's got me feeling so lonesome, all the time
But I guess, that's what this is
'Cause life takes away all of the people I call friends

My homie Pino was stressed out, he wanted weed
So he got his woman's son, and they left the house
At like eleven, with their friends
Loud shouts, shots rang out
And I guess, that was the end
'Cause, they shot my friends
I never seen my friends, again
Maxed out, I scream and shout
And sometimes, I sit around my house
With my gun, I contemplate making it end
No doubt, constantly
I'm haunted by all the memories of my friends
Each time I smile, my smile' pretend

But still I pray, today won't come to goodbyes
But I guess, that's what this is
As you sail away
I pray, I see you all again
It's got me feeling so lonesome, all the time
But I guess, that's what this is
'Cause, life takes away all of the people I call friends

My little brother turned eighteen
He grabbed a thirty-eight
He had no idea, the spindle spun that way
He tried to play that game, that he play', each day
But when he played, that day, things ain't go his way
There was a gunshot
His sister glanced, and she saw a startled look fall into place
And she's been broken, since that day
That's why I pray
I'm screaming, "Someone help us, please!"
'Cause, this pain I feel has got me weak
'Cause I'm praying, begging, "Jesus, please"
'Cause I'm dying, crawling on my knees
I just miss my people
Wish my people stayed on Earth, with me
'Cause, ever since all of my people left
My soul's been incomplete

But still, I pray today won't come to goodbyes
But, I guess, that's what this is
As you sail away
I pray, I see you all again

It's got me feeling so lonesome
All the time
But, I guess that's what this is
'Cause life takes away all of the people I call friends

Lonesome, all the time
But I guess, that's what this is
'Cause, life takes away all of the people I call friends

Outlaws
All of the people I call friends
