Sing 'Em Good My Friend

Sing 'Em Good My Friend - Kenny Chesney (肯尼·切斯尼)

Written by：Jaren Johnston/Tom Douglas

He was selling an old guitar and I bought it

I saw her smiling picture in his wallet

He said "I call her 'baby' but her Christian name is Charlotte"

She spends her days downtown hooked up to some machine

They say time can heal but time can't heal everything

The Lord's gonna take her home real soon flying on angel's wings

I'm gonna cry right now and that's OK

We're all gonna die someday

You won't remember a single word I'm tryin' to say

It's all a grand illusion when you think you're in control

She's all I got left I'm sellin' everything I own

There's no good in a goodbye it's the beginning of the end

I left some songs in this guitar

Sing 'em good my friend

This old guitar and case has been in a million bars

Been a fool's disciple missed her dance recitals

And the birth of every child

Honestly honesty never goes out of style

So sing the pain my friend

So the world sees her as just desperate grey and old

And all I see is my true love my heart my life my soul

At least for one more night

I got a beautiful wrinkled hand to hold

So sing the truth my friend

I'm gonna cry right now and that's OK

We're all gonna die someday

You won't remember a single word I'm tryin' to say

It's all a grand illusion when you think you're in control

She's all I got left I'm sellin' everything I own

There's no good in a goodbye it's the beginning of the end

I left some songs in this guitar

Sing 'em good my friend

I'm gonna sing the pain for me

I'm gonna sing the truth for me

I'm gonna sing em good for my friend

Well I cried when I got in my truck so I put on my shades

Looked up at the crimson sky as the sun began to fade

And for the first time in a long time I swear

I think I prayed

I'm gonna sing the pain for me

I'm gonna sing the truth for me

I'm gonna sing em good for my old friend

Yeah my old friend
