lyrics
v1
My buddy walked past the phone booth
With only one thought in his head
Pick up the receiver and call up his dealer
For a bag of Afghanistan's best
He fought he urge for about four weeks
Then finally he gave in
He looked out his needle and he cooked up his stuff
And he indulged in his favourite sin
ch
Goodbye buddy goodbye
I remember you best singin’ songs so sad
They make a stone heart burst and cry
And now that you're gone I wrote down this song
To remember your name by
Please don't let them forget the reason you're dead
Let them always remember why
v2
When Sammy sang and played guitar
He used to stomp both his feet
Bobbin’ his head and shakin’ his legs
As his heart got a hold of the beat
He was a jokerman he was a fisherman
What a life his is to lose
His little girl lost her Daddy 'cause he couldn't lose a habit
'Cause he picked up and decided to use
My buddy walked past the phone booth
With only one thought in his head
Pick up the receiver and call up his dealer
For a bag of Afghanistan's best
He fought he urge for about four weeks
Then finally he gave in
He looked out his needle and he cooked up his stuff
And he indulged in his favourite sin
ch
Goodbye buddy goodbye
I remember you best singin’ songs so sad
They make a stone heart burst and cry
And now that you're gone I wrote down this song
To remember your name by
Please don't let them forget the reason you're dead
Let them always remember why
