You and me we always hit it off well

Always had that gleam in our eyes the days were ours to sell


You'd hit me up for a buck but we never had a dime

So we jumped the subway in town on the Red Line



I remember



We were never off our feet kickin' stones down on the street

We got arrested more than once before we hit the age eighteen

My folks untied the knot, your old man got a job in New York

You picked up habbits, I picked up the guitar



We used to steal a lot

Then catch a show off the Kenmore stop

But I felt I robbed the most

When that poison hit your heart

Should have never seen you off

Should have been right there when you nodded off

But you told me you weren't doing nothing hard



I remember seeing you two weeks before you died

I swear to christ you had that gleam still in your eye

And now I'm runnin'

But I'm runnin' all alone

When I'm done runnin'

I'll burn out and fade away with you
