lyrics

All of those moments, captured on cameras
There was a time when they happened
So search your journals and old memories
For something to set you laughing
Me, I remember every time
He and I got to no good
With alcohol flowing a little too freely
You'd tear up the neighborhood

But he's gone away now, oh, ain't you heard
That he is pushing up daisies down in the Illinois dirt

Johnny, your voice is ringing in my ears
I'm wondering what you are doing
Sing me a dirge from two thousand miles
A story of love and of ruin
For our dear friend who will never again
Drink to the finer things
Like old album covers and lips of lovers
And all that a long life can bring

'Cause he's gone away now, oh, ain't you heard
That he is pushing up daisies down in the Illinois dirt
