Verse
Chorus
note: when he plays the chord he normally just plays the D G B strings
Best friends day, well, it came and went
And not without incident
On the hill theyâre all moving in
But I donât care much
Iâm dodging branches from Maple trees
Theyâve stolen heavy and steady sleep
They seized every city street
With tuition bought full dirt
And I sat at the river with Ronnie
Watching the Cormorants
And the Osprey diving for their prey
He asked about old friends
I said, I ainât seen none of them
Heâs said, theyâre all transient, man
And their footprints they washed away
Still I walk this town
Hoping to get lost some how
It seems by now though Iâve smoothed a path in every side walk
Itâs all painted black and gold
Black tar where once stood homes
Gold in the hand of each student based franchise
And I sat at the river with Ronnie
Watching the Cormorants
And the Osprey diving for their prey
He asked about old friends
I said, I ainât seen none of them
He said, howâd you get here, man?
And whyâd you stay?
Come on brother, letâs make a list
Of all those gone that we still miss
Letâs make a list of what they believed
And we still do
Like living first and working last
And beating the day before itâs past
Like whatâs mine is yours, man
And whatâs yours is mine
I think Iâll stay here getting older
And angrier
And getting louder with each passing day
And think about old friends
And all that I have learned from them
They may have moved on, man
But weâll all be gone someday
