the j arthur keenes band - "best friends" the musical lyrics

they always say these are the best years of our lives
but i would have to disagree
i knew a time when my best friends were all i had
and all we did was play about in glee

oh, tommy, i met you on the merry+go+round
you said that my hair looked like a girl’s
(and it did)
but don’t let that skew your opinion of him
you know how kids that age will say anything
(ha, ha, ha, ha)

oh, roger, i met you on the soccer field
i wasn’t picked last, but i should’ve been
(you couldn’t play)
oh, that was really nice of you to do then
(oh, it was nothing)
but it was never something i had interest in

we were so, so care free
we all got along so peachy
it’s too bad things can’t stay that way

in high school you went your way and i went my own
and lived in solitude for just a year
oh, i came back with music flowing through my bones
but you had stuffed some cotton in your ears
then i ran into you once walking down the street
i heard your voice and it pr+cked up my ears
but i did not know you and you did not know me
and we succumbed to all my greatest fears

it’s just too bad we had to drift apart like that
at least we’ll always have the memories
maybe we’ll get a desk job at the same office?
and talk about the days
when we had something left to say

now i’m an old decrepit man living in some horrible home
and all i talk about is how i used to jump rope and throw stones
(we were so foolish back then, we should not have let it end)
so young
(we were so foolish back then)
so dumb
(we should have still been best friends)

now i have no one here to listen to all of my boring tales
or keep me company, or wash my feet, or trim my finger nails
(we were so foolish back then, we should not have let it end)
so young
(we were so foolish back then)
so dumb
(we should have still been)
best friends

best friends
