My friend ^BmDavid was a good ^Dkid He had my ^Aback I always knew he ^Edid And he was ^Bmdifferent than most, ^Dand maybe I was ^Atoo And hanging ^Bmout with the in crowd just ^Dwasn't our thang There was a ^Awhole lot more than we could ^Esee on these plains Well ^Bmsome people just seem to get s^Dtuck, and hang a^Around It's ^Bmcollege or trade school for ^Dthose with the means There's ^Anever been any small town dreams for ^Ethose in between Yeah the ^Bmpoor folks they go to ^Dwork or they go to ^Awar I did ^Bmfifteen hundreds ^Ddays in the corps and I got ^Aback nothin looked the same ^Eanymore I got ^Bmon with the local poli^Dce, it just seemed to ^Afit Things have ^Bmchanged

By then ^BmDavid had a ^Ddaughter and a son and a ^Awrap sheet to prove all the ^Etime that he'd done He was just a ^Bmburned out beat down ^Dshell, of my old ^Afriend And on a ^Bmthree day binge he was ^Dspeeding through town, and I ^Abumped the wailers just to ^Etry and slow him down He didn't ^Bmknow that it was ^Dme, and he took ^Aoff Oh how things ^Bmchange
