I see you waving it goodbye

But your best friend won't be there to testify

Son, don't bend

Son, don't cry

When I know you'll meet again

I''ve seen it take away my love

I've seen it shoot and kill my only brother

But you don't mind

Even when you hear

But I'll bet that you would care

If someone took your life on a bet

Your mother went and died in the way

Sally won't survive even if you prey

Let's talk about your troubled path

Down the street

Where the people creek and crack

I see your smile beneath that mask

And I know it would break your heart

If things should end

If someone took your life on a bet

Your mother went and died in the way

Sally won't come back

No matter what you say

I know that something may go wrong

When I'm at the window just staring

A life can be changed

Although the past can't be erased

It's all you seem to think about

I see you waving it goodbye

Your best friend wont be there to testify

Son, don't bend

Son, don't cry

When I know that someone took your life on a bet

Your mother went and died in the way

Sally won't come back
