I see you waving it goodbye
But your best friend won't be there to testify
Son, don't bend
Son, don't cry
When I know you'll meet again
I''ve seen it take away my love
I've seen it shoot and kill my only brother
But you don't mind
Even when you hear
But I'll bet that you would care
If someone took your life on a bet
Your mother went and died in the way
Sally won't survive even if you prey
Let's talk about your troubled path
Down the street
Where the people creek and crack
I see your smile beneath that mask
And I know it would break your heart
If things should end
If someone took your life on a bet
Your mother went and died in the way
Sally won't come back
No matter what you say
I know that something may go wrong
When I'm at the window just staring
A life can be changed
Although the past can't be erased
It's all you seem to think about
I see you waving it goodbye
Your best friend wont be there to testify
Son, don't bend
Son, don't cry
When I know that someone took your life on a bet
Your mother went and died in the way
Sally won't come back
