Sail Away

Hey
 Years ago, I met a man
 I said greetings, and I shook his hand
 But I never knew, that man would change my life
 ♪
 We hung around for a couple days
 And we blazed, I met his wife
 And although they smiled
 I knew that something wasn't right
 One Sunday night, we watched a fight
 And we tossed a couple back, and we shared a doobie
 I smiled, and told my friend, "Goodnight"
 To my surprise, I opened my eyes
 I had to fight, to stop my anxious cries
 'Cause that night, my old amigo took his life
 But still I pray today won't come to goodbyes
 But I guess, that's what this is
 As you sail away
 I pray, I see you all again
 It's got me feeling so lonesome, all the time
 But I guess, that's what this is
 'Cause life takes away all of the people I call friends
 
 My homie Pino was stressed out, he wanted weed
 So he got his woman's son, and they left the house
 At like eleven, with their friends
 Loud shouts, shots rang out
 And I guess, that was the end
 'Cause, they shot my friends
 I never seen my friends, again
 Maxed out, I scream and shout
 And sometimes, I sit around my house
 With my gun, I contemplate making it end
 No doubt, constantly
 I'm haunted by all the memories of my friends
 Each time I smile, my smile' pretend
 But still I pray, today won't come to goodbyes
 But I guess, that's what this is
 As you sail away
 I pray, I see you all again
 It's got me feeling so lonesome, all the time
 But I guess, that's what this is
 'Cause, life takes away all of the people I call friends
 
 My little brother turned eighteen
 He grabbed a thirty-eight
 He had no idea, the spindle spun that way
 He tried to play that game, that he play', each day
 But when he played, that day, things ain't go his way
 There was a gunshot
 His sister glanced, and she saw a startled look fall into place
 And she's been broken, since that day
 That's why I pray
 I'm screaming, "Someone help us, please!"
 'Cause, this pain I feel has got me weak
 'Cause I'm praying, begging, "Jesus, please"
 'Cause I'm dying, crawling on my knees
 I just miss my people
 Wish my people stayed on Earth, with me
 'Cause, ever since all of my people left
 My soul's been incomplete
 But still, I pray today won't come to goodbyes
 But, I guess, that's what this is
 As you sail away
 I pray, I see you all again
 It's got me feeling so lonesome
 All the time
 But, I guess that's what this is
 'Cause life takes away all of the people I call friends
 
 Lonesome, all the time
 But I guess, that's what this is
 'Cause, life takes away all of the people I call friends
 Outlaws
 
 All of the people I call friends
