Ole Pal

(アルバム： All Of Your Stones - 2021)

Ole buddy, ole pal
I need to talk to you right now
You're the only one that just might understand
Ole buddy, right now
It seems the ground's too hard to plow
And this old mule I got is cussing me again

Ole buddy, ole pal
I've been on this road awhile
And I can't see for me what's in it in the end
Well, I won't tell you no lies
If you see tears are in my eyes
Its cause I'm running with my face against the wind

When it rains, it pours like it never has before
When the sun shines, it burns me through my shirt
The wind cuts like razors when I open up the door
I've got a broken heart, but I can't feel it hurt

Ole buddy, ole pal
Nothing's changed in this old town
The welcome sign still looks like it's about to fall
I've been helping out your mom
And I took Becky to the prom
But don't you worry man, it ain't like that at all

Coach Davidson got fired
But if you ask him, he retired
And he wasn't taking all them pills they had him on
Wish I could tell you face to face
They hired your dad to take his place
And he's been running us like dogs since you've been gone

When it rains, it pours like it never has before
When the sun shines, it burns me through my shirt
The wind cuts like razors when I open up the door
I got a broken heart, but I can't feel it hurt

Ole buddy, ole pal
We can't forget about you now
They put your picture up, down at the city hall
Next to a flag and a plaque
That said you never made it back
And in a few words, you're a hero to us all

When it rains, it pours like it never has before
When the sun shines, it burns me through my shirt
The wind cuts like razors when I open up the door
I got a broken heart, but I can't feel it hurt

Ole buddy, ole pal
I need to talk to you right now
But I'll just drive by your old place again
Ole buddy, ole pal
If I could call you up somehow
I'll lie and tell you that I'm getting by
Without my best friend
