Just a Name

Boy, I never knew your name

Oh, but what a cryin' shame

They said you crossed the line last night

Said you swam towards the light

Said your mind was full of mud

Mud and muscle, and blood

And it's only 'cause you took that leap

That they're all talkin' in their sleep

And your friends can't believe it's true

Can't believe what the night took from you

All those nights of fun and games

Well, now you're just a name

Oh, I think it's fair to say

You threw it all away

Just like Louie said

"Better off than dead"

Oh, it's not too harsh to say

You could've had another day

But just like Louie's prayer

Thank your God that you just don't care

Boy, they said you were chasin' the sun

Woulda done anything for anyone

So much they said was goin' great

Until you stayed out too late

Said your mind was full of mud

Mud and muscle, and blood

Oh, it's only 'cause you took that leap

That they're all talkin' in their sleep

And your friends can't believe it's true

Can't believe what the night took from you

All those nights of fun and games

But now you're just a name

Oh, I think it's fair to say

You threw it all away

Just like Louie said

"Better off than dead"

Oh, it's not too harsh to say

You could've had another day

But just like Louie's prayer

Thank your God that you just don't care

Said your mind was full of mud

Mud and muscle, and blood

And it's only 'cause you took that leap

That they're all talkin' in their sleep

And your friends can't believe it's true

Can't believe what the night took from you

All those nights of fun and games

Well, now you're just a name
