Lyric My Friend (So Long)

I heard your record on the telephone
It was my cousin, Joan
She picked it up from the top 40 rack and then
I read your interview in Rolling Stone
You threw the boys a bone
And so I genuinely felt obliged to call
I know You never meant to hurt us, man
We re just a baby band
You found a quicker way
To scale the wall of fame
The situation s awfully dim
Should we up and go with him?
No way [no way, 1, 2, 3, 4]
(chorus)
We know exactly where you are, and you re gone [my friend]
Don t know exactly where you re coming from
You ve gone away my friend
We know exactly where you are, and you re gone [my friend]
Don t know exactly where you re coming from
Have you gone astray [gone]
I saw your video on VH-1
Looks like they spent a ton
How does it feel to be the flavor for a spell
And I remember when you used to say
"Jesus is the way"
I never thought I d see your light begin to fade
The situation s awfully dim
Should we up and go with him?
No way [no way, 1, 2, 3, 4]
(repeat chorus)
(bridge)
Don t think we don t miss you
[We think about you every day]
We still love you anyway
[Love don t go away]
There s still this burning question
[I got to know] Why?
[What will people think when they
Hear that I m a Jesus freak?]
Ah, ah, ah [hey]
[While this is something of fantasy]
[The moral of the story is]
[To stick with your friends]
Ah, ah, ah, ah [hey]
Ah, ah, ah, [hey]
Ah, ah, ah [hey, hey, 1, 2, 3, 4]
(repeat chorus)
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, and you re gone [my friend]
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, so long
You ve gone away, my friend
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, and you re gone [my friend]
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, so long
We ll see you someday
Wish you well
Na, na, na, na, na, my friend
