An old friend, he called me on Christmas
To see how I was
I told him I wasn't complaining much
I said, "Come over and see me
We'll talk for a while"
He said, "Good, I hate phones
I'm only a mile away"
It's been a cold winter's day
It's been a long black night
He said that his life wasn't going
Quite like he had planned
He didn't know it would be so hard to...
Just trying to raise up a family
A car and new shoes
Sometimes I feel like I'm going to lose it all
I poured us more bourbon and water
And toasted the Clash
Then we started to laugh
Oh yeah
