[VERSE]
My friend [Am]David was a good [C]kid
He had my [G]back I always knew he [Asus4]did
And he was [Am]different than most[C] , and maybe I was too[G]
And hanging [Am]out with the in crowd just wasn't o[C]ur thang
There was a [G]whole lot more than we could [Asus4]see on these plains
Well [Am]some people just seem to get s[C]tuck, and hang a[G]round
It's [Am]college or trade school for [C]those with the means
There's [G]never been any small town dreams for [Asus4]those in between
Yeah the [Am]poor folks they go to [C]work or they go to [G]war
I did [Am]fifteen hundreds [C]days in the corps
and I got [G]back nothin looked the same [Asus4]anymore
I got [Am]on with the local poli[C]ce, it just seemed to [G]fit
Things have [Am]changed
[INSTRUMENTAL]
[C] [G] [D] [Em] [C] [G] [D]
[VERSE]
By then [Am]David had a daugh[C]ter and a son
and a [G]rap sheet to prove all the t[Asus4]ime that he'd done
He was just a [Am]burned out beat down [C]shell, of my old [G]friend
And on a [Am]three day binge he was [C]speeding through town,
and I [G]bumped the wailers just to [Asus4]try and slow him down
He didn't [Am]know that it was [C]me, and he took [G]off
Oh how things [Am]change
[CHORUS]
And I found his t[C]ruck in the floodplain u[G]pside down
It was a [D]hell of a rain I didn't [Em]know if he'd drowned,
or if he [C]died on impact. It [G]must have rolled three[D] times
Yeah the only [C]thing to make [G]matters worse
is that his [D]mama's a late night [Em]ER nurse
And he was [C]DOA. She [G]just about lost her [D]mind
[INSTRUMENTAL]
[C] [G] [D] [Em] [C] [G] [D]
[BRIDGE]
David's [Am]wife drops by every [C]once in a while,
and [G]childhood stories always [Asus4]make her smile,
but [Am]somehow we always go [C]back to that [G]day...
