Intro:
A D A E F#M F#M7
Bm
My friend David was a good kid
A E
He had my back I always knew he did
B D A
And he was different than most, and maybe I was too
Bm D
And hanging out with the in crowd just wasn't our thang
A Em
There was a whole lot more than we could see on these plains
B D A
Well some people just seem to get stuck, and hang around
Bm D
It's college or trade school for those with the means
A E
There's never been any small town dreams for those in between
Bm D A
Yeah the poor folks they go to work or they go to war
Bm D
I did fifteen hundreds days in the corps
A E
and I got back nothin looked the same anymore
Bm D A
I got on with the local police, it just seemed to fit
Bm
Things have changed
D A E F#m F#m7 D A E
Bm D
By then David had a daughter and a son
A Em
and a wrap sheet to prove all the time that he'd done
Bm D A
He was just a burned out beat down shell, of my old friend
Bm D
And on a three day binge he was speeding through town,
A E
and I bumped the wailers just to try and slow him down
Bm D A
He didn't know that it was me, and he took off
Bm
Oh how things change
D A
And I found his truck in the floodplain upside down
E F#m
It was a hell of a rain I didn't know if he'd drowned,
D A E
or if he died on impact. It must have rolled three times
D A
Yeah the only thing to make matters worse
E F#m E
is that his mama's a late night ER nurse
D A E
And he was DOA. She just about lost her mind
D A E F#m F#m7 D A E
B D
David's wife drops by every once in a while,
A B
and childhood stories always make her smile,
D A
but somehow we always go back to that day...
D A
When I found his truck in the floodplain upside down
E F#m
It was a hell of a rain I didn't know if he'd drowned,
D A E
or if he died on impact. It must have rolled three times
D A
Yeah the only thing to make matters worse
E F#m E
is that his mama's a late night ER nurse
