Lord knows every blow that he throws Is a punchline on the nose But goddamn give a hand to the man Who can comfort on command You took the fall, you showed them all I wish I knew you when You split my side 'til I damn near cried I bet we'd be friends Good grief what relief to believe There's a future in fractured teeth You took the fall, you showed them all I wish I knew you when You split my side 'til I damn near died I bet we'd be friends Fire flying from a .45 Fireflies are eating him alive It's a Texas switch It's a roundhouse kitsch Ain't this life a bitch You took a fall and showed them all I wish I knew you when You split my side and my eyes went wide I bet we'd be friends I bet we'd make good friends I wish we'd been friends Bob I hope they never gave you hell Bob I hope to hell you're doing well But I know you're not 'Cause the word I got It came as quite a shock So goddamn give a hand to the man Who could comfort on command
