When I grew up with my best friend Kenny    We were close as any brothers than you ever knew

But I can still recall the sting of all       The tears when he was gone

Dm                                                  C

 We were racing, we were soldiers of fortune        We got in trouble but we sure got around

Dm                       Bb                                                   Am7

But it was long ago and it was far away         God it seems so very far
