[VERSE 1]
Well I barely knew him
He was your good friend
But I think about him
Every now and then
And how the real ones
Die with nothing
Half of the time
[Chorus]
I barely knew him
He was a friend of mine
[VERSE 2]
I tried to call him
Once when I came through town
And I saw him walk in the door
But by the time I got down
From the stage
He was gone in the night
I never saw him again
[Chorus]
I barely knew him
He was your good friend
[BRIDGE]
It’s a quick light and a slow burn
A little wink and a half turn
And gone
Little lion with a broken tooth
The best liar tells the truth
He’s gone
[VERSE 3]
He left a wife
And two kids when he died
Every time I hear his name
It makes me want to cry
He could not afford
To see a doctor
So he died
[Chorus]
I barely knew him
He was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
Well I barely knew him
He was your good friend
But I think about him
Every now and then
And how the real ones
Die with nothing
Half of the time
[Chorus]
I barely knew him
He was a friend of mine
[VERSE 2]
I tried to call him
Once when I came through town
And I saw him walk in the door
But by the time I got down
From the stage
He was gone in the night
I never saw him again
[Chorus]
I barely knew him
He was your good friend
[BRIDGE]
It’s a quick light and a slow burn
A little wink and a half turn
And gone
Little lion with a broken tooth
The best liar tells the truth
He’s gone
[VERSE 3]
He left a wife
And two kids when he died
Every time I hear his name
It makes me want to cry
He could not afford
To see a doctor
So he died
[Chorus]
I barely knew him
He was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
