I buried my best friend in the backyard
It was hard it was hard
I found the biggest rock that I could carry
And threw it down on the dirt, it hurt it hurt it hurt

I remember back when you were homeless
Well you weren’t homeless but you had ran away
You’re parents didn’t care where you were going,
We let you in, we let you stay

You were a curse to every mouse in the house
But you were a blessing for us
You were not afraid to do, what we couldn’t do
No, you had no problem drawing blood
And the ghost of every mouse you killed
I’m sure they haunted you
But you didn’t give a shit about that ‘cause
There was nothing that you couldn’t sleep through
You were young and you were wild and you were sweet

You saw me through some really bad times
You saw me happy, you saw me fun
I think that you had more friends than I had
Because you were so easy to love

I had to leave you at home when I went out on the road
But I drew your picture on almost every wall of every where I’d go

Now I don’t know what to do, I don’t know if I can along without you
Some times I just can’t believe it’s true
And I know that you’re gonna come home soon.

It wouldn’t be the first time that you ran away
But then I remember digging your grave
And I feel like I should have dug one for me too.
