Just a Name

Boy, I never knew your name Oh, but what a crying shame They said you crossed the line last night Said you swim towards the light Said your mind was full of mud Mud and muscle and blood And it's only 'cause you took that leap That they're all talkin' in their sleep And your friends can't believe it's true Can't believe what the night took from you All those nights of fun and games Well now you're just a name Oh, I think it's fair to say You threw it all away Just like Louie said Better off than dead Oh, it's not too harsh to say You could've had another day But just like Louie's prayer Thank your God that you just don't care Boy, they said you were chasin' the sun Would've done anything for anyone So much they said was goin' great Until you stayed out too late Said your mind was full of mud Mud and muscle and blood Oh, it's only 'cause you took that leap That they're all talkin' in their sleep And your friends can't believe it's true Can't believe what the night took from you All those nights of fun and games But now you're just a name Oh, I think it's fair to say You threw it all away Just like Louie said Better off than dead Oh, it's not too harsh to say You could've had another day But just like Louie's prayer Thank your God that you just don't care
