My Friend (So Long)

I heard your record on the telephone It was my cousin, Joan She picked it up and that's up 40 rack and then I read your interview in Rolling Stone You threw the boys a bone And so I genuinely felt obliged to call I know you never meant to hurt us, man We're just a baby band You found a quicker way, to scale the wall of fame The situation's awfully dim Should we up and go with him? No way, no way, 1, 2, 3, 4 We know exactly where you are, and you're gone (My friend) Don't know exactly where you're coming from You've gone away (My friend) We know exactly where you are, and you're gone (My friend) Don't know exactly where you're coming from You've gone astray I saw your video on VH1 Looks like they spent a ton How does it feel to be the flavor for a spell And I remember when you used to say "Jesus is the way" I never thought I'd see your light begin to fade The situation's awfully dim Should we up and go with him? No way, no way, 1, 2, 3, 4 We know exactly where you are, and you're gone (My friend) Don't know exactly where you're coming from You've gone away, so long (My friend) We know exactly where you are, and you're gone (My friend) Don't know exactly where you're coming from And you've gone astray, na, na, na, na, na, na, na Don't think we don't miss you Think about you every day We still love you anyway 'S Love don't go away There's still this burning question I got to know, why? What will people think when they Hear that I'm a Jesus freak? Ah, ah, ah, hey (While this is something of fantasy) (The moral of the story is) (To stick with your friends) Ah, ah, ah, ah, hey Ah, ah, ah, hey Ah, ah, ah, hey, hey, 1, 2, 3, 4 We know exactly where you are, and you're gone (My friend) Don't know exactly where you're coming from You've gone away, somehow (My friend) We know exactly where you are, and you're gone (My friend) Don't know exactly where you're coming from And you've gone astray, so long (My friend) Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, and you're gone (My friend) Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, so long Oh, you've gone away (My friend) Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, and you're gone (My friend) Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, so long We'll see you someday Wish you well Na, na, na, na, na, my friend
