From the recording Rally On!
Lyrics
There was a boy from my home town
Put him to the test
He could beat the best
So he was arrest-arrested
One day I heard he was in jail
Attempted murder
With the end of a bottle's
Broken edge
Chorus: All I can do is remember
Those love letters
That he wrote me
One summer from a boys home
They were the first ones
I ever got
A friend I met down in a local bar in town
Said the boy's in Ohio
With a wife and children
But my friend, he has an answer to everything
I was hoping one day I'd see him
Somewhere in Brooklyn
It would take all that I have
To remember the good beneath the scary look
It would take all that I know
To remember the good beneath the scary look
Chorus
