My Friend So Long Songtext / Lyric

I heard your record on the telephone

It was my cousin, Joan

She picked it up and that's up 40 rack and then



I read your interview in Rolling Stone

You threw the boys a bone

And so I genuinely felt obliged to call



I know you never meant to hurt us, man

We're just a baby band

You found a quicker way, to scale the wall of fame



The situation's awfully dim

Should we up and go with him?

No way, no way, 1, 2, 3, 4



We know exactly where you are, and you're gone

(My friend)

Don't know exactly where you're coming from

You've gone away

(My friend)






We know exactly where you are, and you're gone

(My friend)

Don't know exactly where you're coming from

You've gone astray



I saw your video on VH1

Looks like they spent a ton

How does it feel to be the flavor for a spell



And I remember when you used to say

"Jesus is the way"

I never thought I'd see your light begin to fade



The situation's awfully dim

Should we up and go with him?

No way, no way, 1, 2, 3, 4



We know exactly where you are, and you're gone

(My friend)

Don't know exactly where you're coming from

You've gone away, so long

(My friend)



We know exactly where you are, and you're gone

(My friend)

Don't know exactly where you're coming from

And you've gone astray, na, na, na, na, na, na, na



Don't think we don't miss you

Think about you every day

We still love you anyway

'S Love don't go away

There's still this burning question

I got to know, why?



What will people think when they

Hear that I'm a Jesus freak?



Ah, ah, ah, hey

(While this is something of fantasy)

(The moral of the story is)

(To stick with your friends)

Ah, ah, ah, ah, hey

Ah, ah, ah, hey

Ah, ah, ah, hey, hey, 1, 2, 3, 4



We know exactly where you are, and you're gone

(My friend)

Don't know exactly where you're coming from

You've gone away, somehow

(My friend)



We know exactly where you are, and you're gone

(My friend)

Don't know exactly where you're coming from

And you've gone astray, so long

(My friend)



Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, and you're gone

(My friend)

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, so long

Oh, you've gone away

(My friend)



Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, and you're gone

(My friend)

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, so long

We'll see you someday

Wish you well

Na, na, na, na, na, my friend
