We carved our names on the stone together
We mixed our blood, we'd be friends forever
Through any weather we were brother to brother then
We watched the sun go down and we watched the girls go by
Drunk down a thousand beers, yeah we drunk the whole town dry
You by my side, we were brother to brother then
And the sun always shines
On the righteous you said
Over the hills and far away
Those were the glory days
When we were young you use to say
Don't leave a song unsung, oh
'Cause only the good die young
Sometimes I think about that night we said goodbye
You walked away, you had that look in your eyes
And I don't know why, we were brother to brother then
And the sun always shines
On the righteous you said
Over the hills and far away
Those were the glory days
When we were young you use to say
Don't leave a song unsung, oh
'Cause only the good die young
Only the good
I heard the news I remember I cried
Sometimes I wish I been there by your side
And I said goodbye to my brother, my brother then
And the sun always shines
On the righteous you said
Over the hills and far away
Those were the glory days
When we were young you use to say
Don't leave a song unsung, oh
'Cause only the good die young
