Intro: verse 1 I've never known a better writer or a better guy His songs wouldn't just touch you, they'd punch you in the eye It doesn't happen a lot, but everybody says the same that he wasn't supposed to die So let's clink our beers And give three cheers To Tony Sly verse 2 I never heard a bad word about him I never heard a bad melody His dying isn't tragic: it’s a fucking catastrophe I've lost my parents, and so many friends I take it "c'est la vie" It's nothing like losing my friend Tony verse 3 Sometimes on weekends when our kids'd hang out together Keira tells Darla that her dad's songs are better And I think she's sad cause tomorrow she hopes her dad is coming home Cuz he told her that three years ago on the phone Bridge 1 Tony, you make me see myself In a way I don't wanna see Do I have to stop living so recklessly? So I can be the father, I know I can be Bridge 2 (x2) verse 4 All the endless nights we had 20 years of laughs I've looked, but I can't find any photographs Of us because it's weird to take Photos with your best friends Cause you don't think That you never see them again Verse 5 I'm sorry that I wasn't there for you When you needed me in the end I was there to give you eulogy But not when you needed a friend And when they lowered your body into the ground even the piper began to cry From coast to coast Let's raise our drinks and give a toast To Tony Sly
