From age ten until today
He was my friend; we used to play
No I’m not really okay
My best friend died today
In his car we’d break away
Beers & tunes, his Chevrolet
Hopes and dreams we would convey
My best friend died today
Lifting weights and football plays
Party hard; life’s a soiree
Wish I could say “hurray,” but
My best friend died today
Plans and planes and laughs always
Hotel breakfast buffets
Coors Lights and Ruby Tuesday’s
My best friend died today
Wives and kids and Father’s Days
On the phone we’d yack away
We had lunch yesterday, then
My best friend died today
I wish this pain I could allay
Got the call early today
No more of James Jay, ‘cause
My best friend died today
