My Friend (So Long)

I heard your record on the telephone, it was my cousin, Joan

She picked it up in the Top 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, one, two, three, four

We know exactly where you are when you're gone (My friend)

Don't know exactly where you're comin' from

You've gone away, oh, my friend

We know exactly where you are when you're gone (My friend)

Don't know exactly where you're comin' from

Have you gone astray?

I saw your video on VH-1, 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, one, two, three, four

We know exactly where you are when you're gone (My friend)

Don't know exactly where you're comin' from

You've gone away, so long, my friend

We know exactly where you are when you're gone (My friend)

Don't know exactly where you're comin' from

Have you gone astray?

Don't think we don't miss you, we think about you everyday

We still love you anyway 'cause 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, ah, hey

Ah, ah, ah, ah, hey

Ah, ah, ah, ah, hey

Ah, ah, ah, hey, hey, hey, one, two, three, four

We know exactly where you are when you're gone (My friend)

Don't know exactly where you're comin' from

You've gone away, so long, my friend

We know exactly where you are when you're gone (My friend)

Don't know exactly where you're comin' from

Have you gone astray? So long, my friend

(My friend)

Oh, you've gone away, my friend

(My friend)

I'll see you someday

My friend
