Passing By the Graveyard (Song for John B.)
Eddie Money

The boy was genius

When he played the guitar

He lost control of it

And took it too far

Until one rainy night

He never came home

She waited in the front yard

Standing all alone, all alone

Standing all alone

He was a fool

He overplayed his role

He couldn't stop

He had to go man go

He loved his whiskey

And he loved his cocaine

But he really loved that girl

And he'll never see her again

Passing by the graveyard

(Whoa, whoa, whoa)

It's lonely and it's so hard

(Whoa, whoa, whoa)

She never really goes far

(Whoa, whoa, whoa)

She's standing at the graveyard

(Whoa, whoa, whoa)

She knew the cop

She knew the doctor, too

They tried to save him

There was nothing they could do

Don't waste your life away

Like my long-lost friend

What happened to him

Can always happen again, yes it can

(Whoa, whoa, whoa)

You never have to go far

(Whoa, whoa, whoa)

It's lonely and it's so hard

(Whoa, whoa, whoa)

When you're thinking 'bout the graveyard

(Whoa, whoa, whoa)

When the cold wind blows

And it sweeps across her shoulder, yeah, yeah

Now the whole world knows

She'll never let him go

She just can't let him go

Buried him deep

In a piano box

Made sure he was lying

With the lid facing up

It's cold and lonely

And the wind sings his song

Remember him

When you're passing along

Passing by the graveyard

(Whoa, whoa, whoa)

It's lonely and it's so hard

(Whoa, whoa, whoa)

Never have to go far

(Whoa, whoa, whoa)

Thinking 'bout the graveyard

(Whoa, whoa, whoa)

Passing by the graveyard

(Whoa, whoa, whoa)

It's lonely and it's so hard

(Whoa, whoa, whoa)

Never have to go far

(Whoa, whoa, whoa)

When you're passing by the graveyard

(Whoa, whoa, whoa)

Sing it one more time

(Whoa, whoa, whoa)

Sing it one more

(Whoa, whoa, whoa)

By the graveyard

(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
