Lyrics

WHEN I SAW LARRY
BOUT A WEEK AGO
HE WAS WORKIN AT THE HOTEL
POURING DRINKS FOR THE TRAVELLING FOLK
LARRY DIED LAST TUESDAY
HE WAS ONLY 21
YOU HEARD IT SAID SO OFTEN
THAT THE GOOD DIE YOUNG

SO WE POURED SOME JACK DANIELS ON THE CURB
AND THE MASCOT SAID A FEW WORDS THEN WE
HUNG ON THE STREET LIKE DRUNKEN BIRDS
SINGIN SAD SONGS AND WE

SMOKED A DOOB FOR LARRY
TO SHOW HIM THAT WE CARED WHEN YOU SMOKE A
DOOB FOR LARRY
IT?S ALMOST LIKE HE?S THERE

ANYWAY LARRY WENT LAST TUESDAY
HE HAD TO WORK ON THE TOP FLOOR
THEY SAID HE RAN INTO A PROBLEM TRYIN TO HELP A
COP WITH A STUCK DOOR
THEY SAID MANY CROWDED IN A STAIRWELL
AND MOST MADE IT OUT ALIVE
BUT LARRY WOULD NOT WANT YOU TO
HANG YOUR HEAD AND CRY

OH, THERE WERE BETTER TIMES
DEALING IN THE CHRONIC AND THE KIND
CATCHIN SHOWS WHERE THE ROAD WOULD WIND WHERE THE
DAYS GO SO AS
LONG AS YOU THERE, STANDIN BY THE ROAD WON?T YOU

SMOKE A DOOB FOR LARRY
SHOW HIM THAT YOU CARE
WHEN YOU SMOKE A DOOB FOR LARRY
IT?S ALMOST LIKE HE?S THERE
THEN YOU?LL BE WITH LARRY
FLOATING THROUGH THE AIR
SMOKE A DOOB FOR LARRY SHOW HIM THAT YOU CARE

I KNOW IT DON?T SEEM LIKELY
I KNOW IT DON?T SEEM TRUE
BUT SOMEDAY YOU AND ME WELL
WE?LL DIE TOO
LARRY SAID TO TELL YOU YOU BEST
ENJOY IT WHILE YOU CAN
YOU JUST NEED A LITTLE ROOM TO BREATHE AND
TIME TO UNDERSTAND

SMOKE A DOOB FOR LARRY
SHOW HIM THAT YOU CARE WHEN YOU SMOKE A
DOOB FOR LARRY IT?S
ALMOST LIKE HE?S THERE

THEN YOU?LL BE WITH LARRY
FLOATING THROUGH THE AIR
SMOKE A DOOB FOR LARRY SHOW HIM THAT YOU CARE
