So Long

Friday night at the ball game

Sitting down in the cold rain

Cheering for the wrong team

'Cause we drank too much

Mary Ann was something

We were all just nothings

But we made it with her

And the last, we made up

We were on our way

How could those crazy days be so long ago?

We were flyin' high, best friends for life

Don't know where it all goes

But you wake one day and the only thing left

You can say is so long

Made it through the '90s

Careless youth behind me

Fresh out of college

And bound to conquer the world

Charlie went to Detroit

Bobby had some exploits

And me, I got married

To a sweet brown-eyed girl

And she held my heart

Somehow, it fell apart

So long ago, we were flyin' high, best friends for life

Don't know where it all goes

But you wake one day and the only thing left

You can say is so long

Time sure can slip through your hands

Time doesn't care about your man

Sunday morning, cold rain

Wipin' of the tear stains

Saying goodbye to Charlie

Man, you left us to soon

Later on at Harrys

Gathered 'round the chair legs

Memories untouched

To the life that we knew

We were on our way

How can just yesterday be so long ago?

We were flyin' high, best friends for life

Don't know where it all goes

But you wake one day and the only thing left

You can say, we'll just say, so long, so long
