If He Came Back Again

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
You'd have thought a king had diedThe way those people criedInstead of one more broken entertainerIt struck those in his tradeHe could have had it madeIf he'd only been a little sanerThey traveled far to see himOh, the humble and the highThey said goodbye as if he were a friendNow somewhere he is smilingOn those who idolized himBut would they even recognize himIf he came back again?He was born of modest meansBut had outrageous dreamsThey never let him restTill he fulfilled themWhile he rode that train of songHis devils tagged alongThe whiskey and the pillsJust couldn't kill himHe didn't mean to be a rebelAh, the real ones never doThey're born apart from ordinary menNow somewhere he is smilingOn those who sanctified himBut would they even recognize himIf he came back again?It's an old familiar storyBut it's a damn shame none-the-lessThey don't forgive his kindTill they lay them down to restNow somewhere he is smilingOn those who idolized himBut would they even recognize himIf he came back again?Oh, if he came back again
