Intro: Verse I: One day a friend took me aside, and said I have to leave you For buying something from a friend, they say I've done wrong For protecting the name of a man, they say I'll have to leave you So now I'm bidding you farewell, for much too long Chorus: And here's a song to sing, for every man inside, If he can hear you sing, it's an open door. There's not a rich man there, who couldn't pay his way And buy the freedom that's a high price for the poor. Bridge: Kids in Texas, smoking grass, ten year sentence, comes to pass Misdemeanor in Ann Arbor, ask the judges Why? Verse II: Another friend said to her kids, I'm gonna have to leave you For selling something to the man, I guess I did wrong And although I did the best I could, I'm gonna have to leave you So now I'm kissing you farewell for much too long.
