Cody Jinks - David

My friend ^AmDavid was a good ^Ckid He had my ^Gback I always knew he ^Asus4did And he was ^Amdifferent than most^C, and maybe I was too^G And hanging ^Amout with the in crowd just wasn't o^Cur thang There was a ^Gwhole lot more than we could ^Asus4see on these plains Well ^Amsome people just seem to get s^Ctuck, and hang a^Ground It's ^Amcollege or trade school for ^Cthose with the means There's ^Gnever been any small town dreams for ^Asus4those in between Yeah the ^Ampoor folks they go to ^Cwork or they go to ^Gwar I did ^Amfifteen hundreds ^Cdays in the corps and I got ^Gback nothin looked the same ^Asus4anymore I got ^Amon with the local poli^Cce, it just seemed to ^Gfit Things have ^Amchanged

By then ^AmDavid had a daugh^Cter and a son and a ^Grap sheet to prove all the t^Asus4ime that he'd done He was just a ^Amburned out beat down ^Cshell, of my old ^Gfriend And on a ^Amthree day binge he was ^Cspeeding through town, and I ^Gbumped the wailers just to ^Asus4try and slow him down He didn't ^Amknow that it was ^Cme, and he took ^Goff Oh how things ^Amchange

And I found his t^Cruck in the floodplain u^Gpside down It was a ^Dhell of a rain I didn't ^Emknow if he'd drowned, or if he ^Cdied on impact. It ^Gmust have rolled three^D times Yeah the only ^Cthing to make ^Gmatters worse is that his ^Dmama's a late night ^EmER nurse And he was ^CDOA. She ^Gjust about lost her ^Dmind

David's ^Amwife drops by every ^Conce in a while, and ^Gchildhood stories always ^Asus4make her smile, but ^Amsomehow we always go ^Cback to that ^Gday...
