Jolie Holland - Corrido Por Buddy lyrics

rate me

Oh, Listen my dear friends and I'll tell you a story

about someone I barely knew at all

He was a friend of my friends and they told me about him

and how he had nothing to break his fall

He had that bad religion in his blood

the kind that brings you down and can never lift you up

He was a beautiful young man on the streets of Austin

He was a ghost faced junkie on the streets of New Orleans

I could barely recognize him when i saw him

He had to look me in the face and say my name

before i knew it was him

Oh, Buddy, I wish I'd been a better friend

What if they only gave you love when you lied?

It's bound to really rip you up inside

Pressures a person in to that horrible life (?)

that leaves a bloody aftermath

Everything minus one is everything

He treated me with what I considered kindness

When I crawled off to sleep in my car he was worried about me

We payed all his debts to the moon on the outskirts of Austin

I'm sorry to say I was too shy to stay in touch with him

Oh Buddy, I wish I'd been a better friend

And I wonder what it takes just to save one little life

the (?) almost waded back to the shore

When I was really down there was three little words

from a couple of good people that kept me holding on

Oh, Buddy. I'll never get a chance again

Oh Buddy, I wish I'd been a better friend

Oh, Buddy. I'll never get a chance again

Oh Buddy, I wish I'd been a better friend <br />

<br />
