Guy Kyser)



Out eating burgers in a friend's car

Each paper napkin has a happy star

Deep in the trash can they begin to sing

"Swee what a life of innocence brings"

These things don't make me sad today



There comes a time when everyone's plans

Fall like a dog from a truckbed grandstand

Fall like a red snow on the freeway

"I could have done all these things," he said

"And maybe I could have loved you

But I'll pretned I'm above it now."



Night bugs come through the window crawling

Dead man's shirts in the closet calling

"Why didn't you write before I died?"

I would've-but I don't know what to say

To my best friend
