G6 Elmo Lincoln was a friend of mine C9 G6 C9 We used to throw papers every weekday afternoon G6 He was makin' some dough saving up for a bike C9 G6 C9 I was layin low I was killin time on those weekday afternoons G G/F# Well, our hands got black but we never got tired Em Till one day I quit and Elmo got fired D C9 G6 C9 We were free every weekday afternoon We rode that bike that he'd worked for all year Go down to the corner store, too young to want beer But we'd buy some baseball cards, I'd give him my gum Cause the shit was too hard and I didn't want none It would always get dark and I'd make an excuse Thinking he'd buy it But it was no use the sun never set down for Elmo Lincoln Not For Elmo Lincoln Solo I'll never forget when old Elmo got stuck Stealing caps from a kid he ran out of luck We laughed at his nose but nobody had died Just a little lost blood and a bit of bruised pride You'd think he would quit but Elmo kept on Just pissed his collection was gone I guess I never really knew Elmo Lincoln Elmo Lincoln, Elmo Lincoln, Elmo Lincoln Solo Well, I'll never let go the day I awoke from a call from a friend It'd been years since we spoke Elmo had been killed - run down in the night By a train without end, a train without light You think I would cry but never I did Couldn't help but smile just thinkin' of that kid That I used to run with - Elmo Lincoln
