The Only One Lyrics

The Only One

He was always the toughest kid 



 But he never meant no harm 



 But looking back I could see his fate 



 Was tatooed on his arm 



 Walking throught the courtyard 



 Always there to be seen 



 He and little Janie 



 Together they were the king and queen 



 



 He was the only one, who ever really knew 



 He was the only one, what can we do 



 He was the only one, he always showed us how 



 He was the only one, where is he now 



 



 Three years later at the bus stop 



 I know I'll never forget 



 He looked smaller in real ways 



 As he bummed a cigarette 



 And I asked him what he'd been doing 



 And how's little Janie anyway 



 Seems he was drunk 



 They had a fight 



 Janie got hurt and they took him away 



 



 He was the only one, who ever really knew 



 He was the only one, what can we do 



 He was the only one, he always showed us how 



 He was the only one, where is he now 



 



 I can still see him standing there 



 Just like yesterday 



 Leaning on a '56 



 Giving his secrets away 



 Is it any wonder 



 I feel a little lonely 



 He's not just the only one 



 He's the one and only 



 



 I heard about the accident 



 There's not much left to say 



 He wandered out in the middl of the freeway 



 It must have happened right away 



 And I though about what a shame it was 



 Now that it's all said and done 



 And it may sound strange 



 But even now 



 He's still the only one 



 



 He was the only one, who ever really knew 



 He was the only one, what can we do 



 He was the only one, he always showed us how 



 He was the only one, where is he now
