[Verse 1]
My friend [Am]Da vid was a g[C]ood kid
[G]He had my back, alway[D]s knew he did
He was [Am]different than most
[C]And maybe I was too[G]
And hanging [Am]out with the in-crowd
just [C]wasn't our thing
There was a [G]whole lot more
than we could [D]see on these plains
Well, [Am]some people just seem to [C]get stuck,
and hang a[G]round

[Verse 2]
It's [Am]college or trade school
for [C]those with the means
There's never [G]been any small town
for [D]those in between
Yeah, the [Am]poor folks they go to [C]work,
or they go to [G]war
I did [Am]fifteen hundreds [C]days in the Corps
And I got [G]back,
nothing looked the [D]same anymore
I got [Am]on with the local poli[C]ce,
it just seemed to [G]fit
Things have [Am]changed

[Verse 3]
By then D[Am]a vid had a dau[C]ghter and a son
And [G]a rap sheet to prove
all the [D]time that he'd done
He was [Am]just a burned out,
beat down [C]shell of my old [G]friend
And on a [Am]three day binge
he was [C]speeding through town
[G]And I bumped the wailers
just to [D]try and slow him down
[Am]He didn't know that it was me,[C]
and he took [G]off
Oh how [Am]things change

[Chorus 1]
And I found his [C]truck
in the floodplain [G]upside down
It was a [D]hell of a rain
I don't [Em]know if he'd drowned
Or if he [C]died on impact,
[G]it must have rolled three tim[D]es
Yeah, the [C]only thing to [G]make matters worse
Is that his [D]mama's a late
night [Em]ER nurse
And he was [C]DOA,
she [G]just about lost [D]her mind

[Interlude 2]

[C][G][D]

[Verse 4]
David's [Am]wife drops by every [C]once in a while
[G]And childhood stories
al[D]ways make her smile
But [Am]somehow we always [C]go back to [G]that day

[Chorus 2]
When I found his [C]truck
in the floodplain [G]upside down
It was a [D]hell of a rain
I don't [Em]know if he'd drowned
Or if he [C]died on impact,
[G]it must have rolled three tim[D]es
Yeah, the [C]only thing to [G]make matters worse
Is that his [D]mama's a late
night [Em]ER nurse
And he was [C]DOA,
she [G]just about lost [D]her mind
And ain't it [Am]the times
