One could go to jail for taking drugs all night
I do believe the sea-bird's flow-own
Two is in the ground, boy, he turned off that light
When everything was so home-grown
Three was such a terrier, a tearaway-ay, as bloody blue as she can get
Four would sing so easy with his cowboy sway
Dan Hicks could just walk on the set

I never said I was faultless
But I refuse to take the bla-ame
You know one thing's doubtless
We were all friends by name
Free spirits all turn out the sa-ame

The living and the dead, the traffic in your head
Count it all out, what do you see-ee?
The money that you owe, the love you didn't show-ow-ow
Somewhere tonight they're counting on me-ee

Five, he tore the town up with a trick and a gun
He rolled the car on Fisherman's Bend
I always bore the mantle of the fortunate one
A story that will never e-e-end
A story that will never end

I never said I was faultless
But I refuse to take the bla-ame
You know one thing's doubtless
We were all friends by na-a-a-ame
Free spirits all turn out the sa-ame

The living and the dead, the traffic in your head
Count it all out - what do you see-ee?
The money that you owe, the love you didn't show-ow-ow
Somewhere tonight, somewhere they're counting on me-ee

I never said I was faultless
But I refuse to take the bla-ame
You know one thing's doubtless
We were all friends by na-a-a-ame
Free spirits all turn out the sa-ame

The living and the dead, the traffic in your head
Count it all out - now what do you see-ee?
The money that you owe, the love you didn't show-ow-ow
Somewhere tonight, somewhere toni-ight
They're counting on me-ee-ee
