So Long

(album: Missing Years - 2007)

Friday night at the ball game
Sitting down in the cold rain
Cheering for the wrong team
'Cause we drank too much

Mary Ann was something
We were all just nothings
But we made it with her
And the last, we made up

We were on our way
How could those crazy days be so long ago?
We were flying high, best friends for life
Don't know where it all goes
But you wake one day and the only thing left
You can say is so long

Made it through the '90s
Careless youth behind me
Fresh out of college
And bound to conquer the world

Charlie went to Detroit
Bobby had some exploits
And me, I got married
To a sweet brown-eyed girl
And she held my heart
Somehow, it fell apart

So long ago, we were flying high, best friends for life
Don't know where it all goes
But you wake one day and the only thing left
You can say is so long
Time sure can slip through your hands
Time doesn't care about your man

Sunday morning, cold rain
Wiping of the tear stains
Saying goodbye to Charlie
Man, you left us to soon

Later on at Harrys
Gathered 'round the chair legs
Memories untouched
To the life that we knew

We were on our way
How can just yesterday be so long ago?
We were flying high, best friends for life
Don't know where it all goes
But you wake one day and the only thing left
You can say, we'll just say, so long, so long
