How you doing , Sugar Ray, with a wife and family
It’s been so long since we spoke
We were young, we were brave, we were stupid but happy
Living our lives through the mists of our hopes

I remember you singing the Old Rock of Ages,
with a glass of beer in your hand
Trying hard to be good, when the times they weren’t easy
As the years unexpectedly turned us to men
Thinking of you now, in the mornings and evening
Maybe I’ll see you, God willing, next year

I’m sorry , Sugar Ray, I’m so bad at writing
I live by the work of my hands
I hear we lost a friend, after all our trying
So many things, we can’t understand

How is your youngest, I guess she’s not so young now
It won’t be long till she’s up and away
When we meet again , we can pick on our guitars
And laugh as the days just go slipping away
Thinking of you now, in the mornings and evening
Maybe I’ll see you, God willing, next year

I remember you singing the Old Rock of Ages,
with a glass of beer in your hand
Trying hard to be good, when the times they weren’t easy
As the years unexpectedly turned us to men
When we meet again , we can pick on our guitars
Have us a round, and the Sugar Ray waltz
