Rico
Well I barely knew him
He was your good friend
And I think about him
Every now and then
And how all the real ones
Die with nothing
Half of the time
And I barely knew him
He's a friend of mine
Well, I tried to call him
When I came through town
You know I saw him walk in the door
But by the time I got down on from the stage
He was gone in the night
I never saw him again
And I barely knew him
He was your good friend
Yeah, It's a quick light and a slow burn
It's a little wink and a half turn, and gone, gone
He's a little lion with a broken tooth
The best liar tells the truth
But he's gone
He left a wife and two kids when he died
Every time I hear his name
You know it makes me wanna cry
He could not afford to see a doctor
So he died
And I barely knew him
He's a friend of mine
He's a friend of mine
He's a friend of mine, mine
He was your good friend
And I think about him
Every now and then
And how all the real ones
Die with nothing
Half of the time
And I barely knew him
He's a friend of mine
Well, I tried to call him
When I came through town
You know I saw him walk in the door
But by the time I got down on from the stage
He was gone in the night
I never saw him again
And I barely knew him
He was your good friend
Yeah, It's a quick light and a slow burn
It's a little wink and a half turn, and gone, gone
He's a little lion with a broken tooth
The best liar tells the truth
But he's gone
He left a wife and two kids when he died
Every time I hear his name
You know it makes me wanna cry
He could not afford to see a doctor
So he died
And I barely knew him
He's a friend of mine
He's a friend of mine
He's a friend of mine, mine
