lyrics

Hey Kenny I heard that you'd passed away
Just another Saturday night mystery
Living it up done dragged you down
Another tombstone going into the ground

I don't have time to mourn
Now that you're dead and gone
Just another old friend that's left this life too young

Audrey was the queen of the parking lot
Friday night up at the Bottle Shop
I heard she cleaned up but that depends
She left two little kids behind in the end

I don't have time to mourn
Now that you're dead and gone
Just another old friend that's left this life too young
I don't have time to mourn
You're not the only one
Just another old friend but now you're dead and gone

Been a few years since I heard your name
Hadn't seen your face since we were seventeen
The life you led catching up too soon
Well, I hope the good book's been good to you

I don't have time to mourn
Now that you're dead and gone
Just another old friend that's left this life too young
I don't know how to mourn
Y'know I'm getting numb
Just another old friend and now you're dead and gone

Yeah, you're dead and gone
Yeah, you're dead and gone
You're dead and gone
Yeah, you're dead and gone
