[Verse 1]
             
 I knew a boy 

              
once, when I w

A towhead blon

f salt
              
He played the 

              
drum in the ma

        
rching band
             
 His parents c

              
ared more abou

       
t the Bible
              
Than being goo

              
d to their own

   
 child
              
He wore long s

              
leeves cuz of 

    
his dad

[Chorus]
         
And somehow we

Hope he took h

              
is bad deal an

 flush
         
Don't know if 

              
I'll see you a

But if you're

you're okay
