January

I let the letters pool up in the mailbox Packages the mailman leaves after two knocks I don't have time for the ads or the bills January came and went before I felt November pass March, April, May, June, July left me just as fast It's been years since last Tuesday and I'm scared Scared of my Old friends My gold friends No one like them Knew me when I knew them When we all had targets on our backs Soon I'll know people who never know that My true friends My blue friends No one like them Santa Lucia and the outlaw band Thank the circumstance that brought us here today but Bless the ties we can hold and sever away On the gravel, everything moves slowly The stress of the streets let me be from their roaring I see the roads like I've never known I've been out with the pine trees lately I sing and I yell and I swear they can hear me They listen like my Old friends My gold friends No one like them Knew me when I knew them When we all had targets on our backs Soon I'll know people who never know that Like my True friends My blue friends We go way back Santa Lucia and the outlaw band Thank the circumstance that brought us here today but Bless the ties we can hold and sever away My veins are begging me to let it go Cuz the wounds are new but the scars are old In the thick of it now but I won't be forever And soon it's gonna be so much better Old friends My gold friends No one like them Knew me when I knew them When we all had targets on our backs Soon I'll know people who never know that Like my True friends My blue friends We go way back Santa Lucia and the outlaw band Thank the circumstance that brought us here today but bless the ties Old friends My gold friends No questions asked Time is fast Dead and passed But I'd do anything for them Bodies, mind, and spirit My true friends My blue friends Until the end It'll always be the outlaw band
