Lyrics

I’ve lived a crazy life, from then till now
We grew up way too fast on the northern side of town
Punk Rock was everything we felt inside
It was our religion, it was our way of life
Thinking back on it now it hurts my brain
we tried so damn hard but could not kill the pain
I guess we felt like we had something to prove
Don’t ask me what it was, ‘cause I don’t have a clue

I’m glad that we were friends, I can’t believe you’re gone
I thought we were immortal, I hate that I was wrong
I thought the party would never end, we lived our life sin after sin
It’s true! Boys this ones for you!

Life was good back then, though seldom fair
We never stood a chance, we never really cared
We’d drink all day, we’d start a fight, we always kept it rude
What we lacked in common sense, we gained in fortitude.
Tony bummed a cigarette and chewed it up like food
he coughed a bit, then he spit the juice all over dude
I was not surprised when some other punk rock guys
came to defend their blinded friend so we commenced to fight
We fought hard with lots of heart but would not win this war
The odds were stacked against us, they were 10 and we were 4
We took our beating proudly, and now I have to grin
Even though he was an asshole, he was still my fucking friend

I’m glad that we were friends, I can’t believe you’re gone
I thought we were immortal, I hate that I was wrong
I thought the party would never end, we lived our life sin after sin
It’s true! Boys this one’s for you!

The older that we get, the more friends that we lose
This ones for the boys cause they all paid their dues
Brooks Graves and Jeremy Norman, this one goes out to you
Joseph Roberts and Joe Dotson, this one goes out to you
Timmy Henley and William Riggs and Frankie Martin too
This one’s for Tony Daniels, I could always count on you
I loved you all like brothers so I raise my glass to you
Someday my friends we’ll meet again, this one goes out to you

I’m glad that we were friends, I can’t believe you’re gone
I thought we were immortal, I hate that I was wrong
I thought the party would never end, we lived our life sin after sin
It’s true! Boys this one’s for you!
I’m glad that we were friends, I can’t believe you’re gone
I thought we were immortal, I hate that I was wrong
I thought the party would never end, we lived our life sin after sin
It’s true! Boys this one’s for you!
