The Only One Lyrics

The Only One lyrics

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
