| He was always the toughest kid
|
| But he never meant no harm
|
| But looking back I could see his fate
|
| Was tatooed on his arm
|
| Walking throught the courtyard
|
| Always there to be seen
|
| He and little Janie
|
| Together they were the king and queen
|
| He was the only one, who ever really knew
|
| He was the only one, what can we do
|
| He was the only one, he always showed us how
|
| He was the only one, where is he now
|
| Three years later at the bus stop
|
| I know I’ll never forget
|
| He looked smaller and real wasted
|
| As he bummed a cigarette
|
| And I asked him what he’d been doing
|
| And how’s little Janie anyway
|
| Seems he was drunk
|
| They had a fight
|
| Janie got hurt and they took him away
|
| He was the only one, who ever really knew
|
| He was the only one, what can we do
|
| He was the only one, he always showed us how
|
| He was the only one, where is he now
|
| I can still see him standing there
|
| Just like yesterday
|
| Leaning on a '56
|
| Giving his secrets away
|
| Is it any wonder
|
| I feel a little lonely
|
| He’s not just the only one
|
| He’s the one and only
|
| I heard about the accident
|
| There’s not much left to say
|
| He wandered out in the middl of the freeway
|
| It must have happened right away
|
| And I though about what a shame it was
|
| Now that it’s all said and done
|
| And it may sound strange
|
| But even now
|
| He’s still the only one
|
| He was the only one, who ever really knew
|
| He was the only one, what can we do
|
| He was the only one, he always showed us how
|
| He was the only one, where is he now |
