"Hey, Come On"

Shared a playground each day of second grade
Both thought the other had it made
Logic could never really lead that guy astray
Nothing changed, we grew up that way

Hey come on lets grab another pitcher
Hit the bar and listen to a tune
I hear Bill is playing down at Dizzys
Man I need to taste beer soon

Had an old green Chrysler, We pushed around a bit
It backfired and the carburetor lit
He stood there with a beer in hand and a car consumed with fire
Then someone doused the funeral pyre

Hey come on lets grab another pitcher
Hit the bar and listen to a tune
I hear Mark is playing at the Metro
I gotta take a break from this crap soon

The day his step dad hit him with a wrench
Seems the old man finally dug a trench
Sister coming home saved him from the noose
Nothing saved him from the mans abuse

Hey come on lets grab another pitcher
Hit the bar and listen to a tune
Someone must be playing at the local
I'm headed off the deep end way too soon

Now he looks me up when the woman leaves him cold
Or when severance pay is not enough to hold
The spirit is the hardest thing for anyone to lose
Especially when it wasn't theirs to choose

Hey man lets forget about the pitcher
Just a glass or two for old time sake
I never finished drowning all those sorrows
I've had as much fun as I can take
Hey come on lets grab another pitcher
Hit the bar and listen to a tune
I heard Bill became a DJ
And Mark's just howling at the moon
