You like to eat your grits with butter salt and sugar

You like your coffee instant and black

I always loved the fact but thought that it was so peculiar

How you carried everything you owned on your back seat

Of your 1983 canary yellow Z

You had a unique collection of fast food bag

And all the posted notes of quotes taped to your dashboard

Reminding you life's not so bad

Sad, sadder day

Since I heard you went away

Sad, sadder day

When I can't see your face

What about the day you took me to Skatetown USA

It was raining and there wasn't anywhere we could play

We skated backwards as we held on to each other's hand

Made up choreographer to K.C. and the Sunshine Band

You got tired and said you couldn't sleep last night

You stayed up praying for everybody you knows souls

Then you got misty eyed when you said you weren't afraid to die but you were scared of being alone

Sad, Sadder day

Since I heard you went away

Sad, Sadder day

When I can't see your face

Faster my heart started beating

I got the funniest most awful feeling

You were trying trying to tell me something

I didn't want to know

Sad, Sadder day

Since I heard you went away

Sad, Sadder day

When I can't see your face
