Drive-By Truckers - People Who Died lyrics

Johnny sniffing glue, he was 12 years old Fell to the Earth on Easter night Cathy was 11 when she pulled the plug On 26 reds and a bottle of wine Bobby got leukemia, 14 years old He looked like 65 when he died He was a friend of mine Those are people who died, died They were all my friends, and they died Brian got busted on a narco rap He beat the rap by rattin' on some bikers He said, "Hey, I know it's dangerous, but it sure beats Riker's" But the next day he got offed by the very same bikers Those are people who died, died They were all my friends, and they died Herbie pushed Tony from the Boys' Club roof Tony thought that his rage was just some goof But Herbie sure gave Tony some b**hen proof "Hey," Herbie said, "Tony, can you fly?" But Tony couldn't fly, Tony died Those are people who died, died They were all my friends, and they died
