well i barely knew him he was your good friend but i think about him every now and then and how the real ones die with nothing half of the time i barely knew him he was a friend of mine i tried to call him once when i came through town and i saw him walk in the door but by the time i got down from the stage he was gone in the night i never saw him again i barely knew him he was your good friend its a quick light and a slow burn a little wink and a half turn and gone little lion with a broken tooth the best liar tells the truth hes gone he left a wife and two kids when he died every time i hear his name it makes me want to cry he could not afford to see a doctor so he died  i barely knew him he was a friend of mine he was a friend of mine he was a friend of mine
