Snowblind Friend - David Allan Coe

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

Lying on the pavement with a 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, a sister or a brother

And they’ll come to take him back home on a bus

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

Yeah 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?

Flyin' low, dyin' slow

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

Lying on the pavement with a 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

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?

Dyin' slow, flyin' low

Did you say you saw your good friend flyin' low?

Dyin' slow, flyin' low
