You were a great man
You just had a problem
You probably felt like no one understands
But I did and I still do
I don't blame you
I just wish I could have save you
You were a great man
But you're hands were burned with sins
Shot after shot
While your throat burned with gin
You probably didn't know
But I still loved you
And I still do
I wish you would have know
I wish I would have said
But it's too late now
Because now my brother's dead
Did you know how proud I was to call you mine
Do you know I think about you all the time
Do you know what I'd do?
What I'd give just to be able to say to you
I'm left sitting here thinking
Why today
Why here, why now, why you
You'd be 37 in just 3 days
Another soul, too young, got taken away
Another bad habit
But you just had to have it
I wish you could have just put it away
You were a great man
But today was your day
Everybodys got a time and place they say
Sometimes it may be hard to tell
But maybe God saved you from your own personal Hell
Maybe he needed you for the part you play
But I lost a great man today.
