Intro Lyrics
You were lucky to leave this awful place,
Now you're better off cause you've got God's grace.
Yet once again I find myself here by your grave,
Lookin' back on the life you gave.
Yeah I was lucky just to be your friend,
Cause if I'me good then we'll meet in the end.

Verse
Amin
You changed our lives in many ways,
C
You taught us lessons every day.
Amin
Sometimes big and sometimes small,
C
Like to get back up when we fall.
A
Boy you're missed more than you could know,
Amin
Though I sometimes wish you didn't have to go.
Amin                   
C

Chorus
C
You tried to take the test of time,
G
I'm just glad you were a friend of mine.
Amin
And on and on to heaven you went,
F
Your short time with us was well spent.

Verse
Amin
You're up there now jammin' with the best,
C
Past those pearly gates like the rest.
Amin
You're behind your five piece and you're rockin' down,
C
You're finally the heartbeat of the sound.
Amin
You've earned your part and you're playin' for God,
C
You're still no dancin' duck but atleast you can nod.
Amin
You had fun with everything you did,
C
You were taken away when you were just a kid.
Amin
Things haven't been the same since you've been gone,
C
You're joy is missed like the sun at dawn.
Amin
You took a part of us with when you left,
C
To much has changed but we don't miss you any less.
