About This Song


It started out as an idea for a blues song about a fair-weather friend and evolved into this.

Who would have thought I had it easy.
I wasn't smart enough to know.
It makes me feel a little queasy.
But not enough to let it show.

Take me down to the water.
Throw me in and watch me drown.
Or put a bullet in my head.
And stick me in the ground.

If someone told me I'd be just like you.
I'd never want to be alone again.
I gotta tell you that it's just like you to say remember when.
I swear I've seen your face before.
But I didn't even know it then.
Now I've got to say farewell to my old fair-weather friend.

You know you're positively evil.
But not so bad to have around.
It was your soul I tried to steal.
Cause it's the best I've ever found.

You could say I had it coming.
I was careless, I was proud.
So stick your knife into my back.
I'll try not to make a sound.

If someone told me I was just like you.
I'd never wanna be alone again.
I gotta tell you that it's just like you to say I knew you when.
God
I swear I've seen your face before.
But I didn't even know you then.
Now I've gotta say farewell to my old fair-weather friend.

Never can find you.
When I'm needing a hand to hold.
Tell me, where do you go?

You never knew me.
No, you never even tried.
Now I've got to say goodbye.

If someone told me I'd be just like you.
I'd never wanna be alone again.
I gotta tell you that it's just like you to screw me in the end.
Hell I swear I've seen your face before.
But I didn't even know it then.
Now I've gotta say farewell to my old fair-weather friend.
Now I've gotta say farewell to my old fair-weather friend.
Now I've gotta say farewell to my old fair-weather friend.
