I Remember

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
