I've never known a better writer or a better guy His songs wouldn't just touch you they would punch you in the eye It doesn't happen a lot when everybody has the same thought “He wasn't supposed to die” So let's clank our beers and give three cheers for Tony Sly I never heard a bad word about him I never heard a bad melody His dying isn't tragic it's a f***ing catastrophe I've lost my parents and so many friends I chalk it c'est la vie It's nothing like losing my friend Tony Sometimes on weekends when our kids hang out together Keira tells Darla that her dad's songs are better Keira And I think she's sad cause tomorrow she hopes her dad Will be coming home cause he told her that 3 years ago on the phone Tony you make me see myself in a way I don't wanna see Tony, Do I have to stop living so recklessly So I can be the father I know I can be All the endless nights we had the 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'll never see them again I'm sorry that I wasn't there for you when you needed me in the end I was there to give your 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 Tony Sly
