We swore allegiance to the end with a wicked grin nwith the sun burning holes nin the valley of sin nTeddy came from bad seed that’s what he used to say nhis Daddy left with the credit card nand his sister on the way nnHe had eyes that made girls cry and a nose that looked right down non anyone or anything nthat tried to outsmart this town nhe had a smile that’d light up a room with fists that’d clear one out nno man could keep him down nof course many had their doubts nnchorus: nHave you ever known anyone like (3) nanyone like Teddy nnSometimes the roads all lead to where you don’t want to go nbut you hear someone calling nwho it is you’ll never know nso I caught the midnight train Teddy there to say goodbye nfinally said ‘farewell my friend nI sure wish that I could fly’ nn(chorus) nnTeddy used to drop in but my wife she had her say nhe still looked wild around the eyes nand she was not brought up that way nso things were quiet for a time then them makeshift walls came down nTeddy’s knife in the foreman’s chest nand the mill burnt to the ground nnI told my wife I know he’ll come she said it’s him or me nheard his footprints on the porch nand I turned to watch her leave nwith the dirt caked on his face he looked 16 once again nwrapped my arm around his neck nsaid ‘we best be moving on my friend nn(chorus)
