You were working on that Willie Nelson record You took us to the fifth avenue bar It might have been the greatest night of my life It might have been but I can't be too sure And you wouldn't even let me meet my hero You said you didn't want me to be crushed Anyway it turns out he's a real asshole And it never would've added up to much It turns out you were adding up to something But what it was wasn't enough to keep you here After all it was you who's always crying Even though we never saw you shed a tear So I just want to thank for your kindness I just want to thank you for your songs I just want these tears out of my head They never meant to hang around this long And I wish I would've know you had this darkness I wish I would've stayed in touch some more I wish I would've taken up that offer To meet you up Ventura before Someday when I get off of this highway Someday we will walk along this road There's a picture of you out there on the water In that yellow buskin coat bathed in gold
