PETEY

What ever happened to you Petey - I miss you bud

What happened to you Petey - I wish you luck

Some said his breath was not so good

Always living in a bad neighborhood

Not very tall - with eyes so sad

Beautiful brown eyes he did have

Was a musician - five feet tall

Problems with drugs and alcohol

I've often wondered what happened to you

My curly haired friend that I call Petey

It's been many years - think he moved away

We had many talks at the bar down the way

I hope you stayed out of jail this time

And found a girl who treats you right

When I moved away and quit our job

Like it often goes - we didn't stay in touch

Our time together - distant memory

Thankless life of the restaurant industry

(chorus)

Abusive girlfriend - that was so needy

That was the life of a guy named Petey

Brilliant musician - very cute face

Small in stature but full of grace

It's been many years - we moved away

I miss our talks at the bar down the way

He may be in rehab - he may be happy

Either way I wish you the best my Petey

_____

It's hard to believe it's been so many years

Since then - a lot of laughs and tears

I'll probably never see you again

But I'll always consider you my friend

I liked your music - I liked your style

And even though it's been awhile

Back in the old days of the big city

Drinkin' a beer with my friend - so skinny

Artists like us - our souls are tortured

Emotional damage - Sanity cornered

Mysterious and quietly needy

That was my friend whom I called Petey

-

I've heard many stories through the grape vine

Over the years - hope you are fine

I miss looking into your beautiful brown eyes

Hair so curly - body so small

But your aura - so strong - so tall

I'm sad that I'll probably never see you again

(maybe in the afterlife, huh?)

(chorus)
