He was always the toughest kid
|
But he never meant no harm
|
But looking back I could see his fate
|
Was tatooed on his arm
|
Walking throught the courtyard
|
Always there to be seen
|
He and little Janie
|
Together they were the king and queen
|
|
He was the only one, who ever really knew
|
He was the only one, what can we do
|
He was the only one, he always showed us how
|
He was the only one, where is he now
|
|
Three years later at the bus stop
|
I know I'll never forget
|
He looked smaller in real ways
|
As he bummed a cigarette
|
And I asked him what he'd been doing
|
And how's little Janie anyway
|
Seems he was drunk
|
They had a fight
|
Janie got hurt and they took him away
|
|
He was the only one, who ever really knew
|
He was the only one, what can we do
|
He was the only one, he always showed us how
|
He was the only one, where is he now
|
|
I can still see him standing there
|
Just like yesterday
|
Leaning on a '56
|
Giving his secrets away
|
Is it any wonder
|
I feel a little lonely
|
He's not just the only one
|
He's the one and only
|
|
I heard about the accident
|
There's not much left to say
|
He wandered out in the middl of the freeway
|
It must have happened right away
|
And I though about what a shame it was
|
Now that it's all said and done
|
And it may sound strange
|
But even now
|
He's still the only one
|
|
He was the only one, who ever really knew
|
He was the only one, what can we do
|
He was the only one, he always showed us how
|
He was the only one, where is he now
|
