Me And John And Paul

Johnny lived next door to me and Paul lived down the block We'd meet each day at my house, sharp at six o'clock We'd race our bikes to school and Paul would always win Johnny said that's 'cause we're nine and Paul had just turned to ten First day of high school on my way to my first class Three football players said, "They wouldn't let me pass" I set my books down and I rolled up my sleeves And then I noticed there was two boys next to me It was me and John and Paul Best friends you ever saw All for one and one for all It was me and John and Paul I wonder why they call it graduation day Its more like a funeral or youth that's passed away Paul said, "He's leaving for the army in two weeks" Johnny said, "Lets go to town and make the memories" It was me and John and Paul Best friends you ever saw All for one and one for all It was me and John and Paul Years later, I heard Paul came back from the Gulf War I flew up to Tennessee to visit him once more It didn't shock me, none to hear that he'd been brave He'd lost his own life but another one was saved I waited by a tree till everyone had left I went up and said a prayer where my pal slept And then I heard a voice I hadn't heard in years I didn't need to turn around I knew just who was there It was me and John and Paul Best friends you ever saw All for one and one for all It was me and John and Paul It was me and John and Paul Best friends you ever saw All for one and one for all It was me and John and Paul
