away from home
on my own
fifty years ago
I saw your smile
unique style
when we said hello
I was eighteen
new on the scene
you became my bro
so many moons
musical tunes
some fast and some slow
lots of heartbreaks
picking up stakes
when we had to go
calamity
insanity
hard times to undergo
intoxicants
can't pay the rent
always short on dough
you've seen trouble
my soul double
and it's brought you low
here's hoping I'll
see the smile
I saw
fifty years ago
