The Pinkerton Thugs

I Remember

The Pinkerton Thugs


You and me we always hit it off well 
Always had that gleam in our eyes the days were ours to sell 
You'd hit me up for a buck but we never had a dime 
So we jumped the subway in town on the Red Line 

I remember 

We were never off our feet kickin' stones down on the street 
We got arrested more than once before we hit the age eighteen 
My folks untied the knot, your old man got a job in New York 
You picked up habbits, I picked up the guitar 

We used to steal a lot 
Then catch a show off the Kenmore stop 
But I felt I robbed the most 
When that poison hit your heart 
Should have never seen you off 
Should have been right there when you nodded off 
But you told me you weren't doing nothing hard 

I remember seeing you two weeks before you died 
I swear to christ you had that gleam still in your eye 
And now I'm runnin' 
But I'm runnin' all alone 
When I'm done runnin' 
I'll burn out and fade away with you
