THE TIGERS'
FOOTBALL SCORE
IT SAID HE WAS ONLY
EIGHTEEN
A BOY ABOUT MY AGE
THEY FOUND HIM
FACE DOWN ON
HIS BEDROOM FLOOR
THERE'LL BE SERVICES
ON FRIDAY
AT THE LAWRENCE
FUNERAL HOME
THEN OUT ON
MOORESVILLE HIGHWAY
THEY'LL LAY HIM
'NEATH A STONE
HOW DO YOU GET
THAT LONELY
HOW DO YOU HURT
THAT BAD
TO MAKE YOU MAKE
THE CALL
THAT HAVIN' NO LIFE
AT ALL
IS BETTER THAN THE LIFE
THAT YOU HAD
HOW DO YOU FEEL
SO EMPTY
YOU WANNA LET IT ALL
GO
HOW DO YOU GET
THAT LONELY
AND NOBODY KNOW
DID HIS GIRLFRIEND
BREAK UP WITH HIM
DID HE BUY OR STEAL
THAT GUN
DID HE LOSE A FIGHT
WITH DRUGS
OR ALCOHOL
DID HIS MOM
AND DADDY FORGET
TO SAY I LOVE YOU SON
DID NO ONE SEE
THE WRITING
ON THE WALL
I'M NOT BLAMIN'
ANYBODY
WE ALL DO
THE BEST WE CAN
I KNOW HINDSIGHT'S
TWENTY-TWENTY
BUT I STILL DON'T
UNDERSTAND
HOW DO YOU GET
THAT LONELY
HOW DO YOU HURT
THAT BAD
TO MAKE YOU MAKE
THE CALL
THAT HAVIN' NO LIFE
AT ALL
IS BETTER THAN THE LIFE
THAT YOU HAD
HOW DO YOU FEEL
SO EMPTY
YOU WANNA LET IT ALL
GO
HOW DO YOU GET
THAT LONELY
AND NOBODY KNOW
