And the sun was brighter than it's ever been

When I grew up with my best friend Kenny

And there was so much left to dream

And so much time to make it real

But I can still recall the sting of all

The tears when he was gone

They said he crashed and burned I know I'll never learn

Why any boy should die so young

We were racing, we were soldiers of fortune

We got in trouble but we sure got around

There are times I think I see him peeling out of the dark

As he hit me again and again and again

And though the nightmares should be over

I'll hear that ugly coarse and violent voice

And then he grabs me from behind
