Now let me tell ya 'bout a friend of mine It was not too long ago and once upon a time I was thinkin' bout the days we were growin' up Livin' up to the life that they expected from us You know we had a dream, and it seemed that it could be A shot at a good life, instead of these hard times But his pain was too great, and so that day never came And though, I'm a year older now I can still feel his pain Thinkin' bout our lives- how we had come so far, Though it had been so hard, we always came out a star And... Jimmy always talked bout what he'd do in the future Cuz big dreams would come if we made it through Life could never be only good times ya know, And the downs turn around even though it seems slow And you got to stay real, and you got to stay with it Cuz sadness got the best of him and now he's down below Jimmy Dean was a friend of mine A life of disappointment he'd confide He could not depend on himself in the end This selfish lie To tell the truth I don't understand this man SongtexteHe had a foolproof plan, he had the tools in his hand It was a question of time before he found his fate But he bought into the lies and so he drowned in hate It was a day way back and he confided in me And what he said to me was, man it's time to leave And I said 'Where you goin', he said gone to the skies To give the earth my body bag so my soul could rise Jimmy Dean was a friend of mine A life of disappointment he'd confide He could not depend on himself in the end This selfish lie Heaven never waits, it's not for very long Everything we ever learned, all we tried wasn't wrong All of the dreams that we had they would come If we made it through this pain there's no reason to be numb But you let all of your demons rise up within Don't you know that the voices of the good, they can win And we know that life can fade away, its fades into the blue You never gave your life a chance and now its over and you're through And when I saw him I just told him to chill Take a breath, sit back don't keep it all concealed This life is complicated, the weight it falls on you And they expect you to handle it all to get through And don't ya know- cause everything that you feel in life Is not always good, but it's not worth it to die You're not the only one who goes through pain and strife Jimmy Dean could only see his thought of suicide I know it always seems so hard Just to believe in who you are Sometimes we don't see the sun The darkness covers everyone Sometimes when you feel so consumed with pain The only way out is straight down the drain It's never too late to change the road you're on You got to realize that there's a better way Somehow I knew that you could never be changed You had no idea the pain that ya caused, now you're gone And I saw- What ya left behind, in the end your family Wonderin', suffering- what good will come of this No matter what you face there's got to be another way But you never found In the end you found, you found the only way out (Thanks to MrTuffguy for these lyrics) Aus Songtexte Mania
