Next to the Track Blues

Yeah, yeah, how about a drink?
How about a toast to our friends?
Not the friends you're gonna see every day, no
Instead, we're gonna drink to the friends who had to go away
I'll betcha know just who I mean
The friends who had to depart
The friends in our heart

Can you see the blues in my boogie?
Can you see the blood in my beer?
Just hope you laugh at pain
Help me smile away the tears
