My brother, it's sad that you're dead and gone I cherish every memory, that's why I'm writing you this song You got on the bus, became one of us And we remained friends, 'til your very end The first joint we smoked at the first show we went to All the great times we had in the good old basement The moments we shared are forever carved inside my mind And every day I tell myself if I could turn back time I'd relive them again, I miss you my friend I will never forget When I left the band, I needed a friend You were there right away, I remember the day You called and said "come over", we got drunk together That's the last time we spent, around the campfire I'm so thankful I had the chance to see you that night Cuz I didn't know that seven days later you would die But the promise I made is the promise I kept I will never forget My brother, wish I never wrote this song I cherish every memory, it's sad that you are dead and gone
