Hoyt Axton - Snowblind friend lyrics

rate me

You say it was this mornin' when you last saw your good friend

Lyin' on the sidewalk with the misery on his brain

Stoned on some new potion he found upon the wall

Of some unholy bathroom in some ungodly hall

He only had a dollar to live on ‘till next Monday

But he spent it all on comfort for his mind

Did you say you think he's blind?

Someone should call his parents or a sister or a brother

And they'll come and take him back home on a bus

But he'll always be a problem to his poor and puzzled mother

And he'll always be another one of us

He said he wanted heaven but prayin' was too slow

So he bought a one-way ticket on an airline made of snow

Did you say you saw your good friend flyin' low

You say it was this mornin' when you last saw your good friend

Lyin' on the sidewalk with the misery on his brain

Stoned on some new potion he found upon the wall

Of some unholy bathroom in some ungodly hall

Did you say you saw your good friend flyin' low

Dyin' slow

Blinded by snow
