where they are now

Randy and Greg were my

buds in school

academically sound

total fools


they were the only reason

i stayed sane

girls ignored me

bullies came


but through it all

i kept a smile on my face

somehow

that was so long ago

i wonder where they are now


Tony, Bill, Art and Ray

my band mates

didn't know each other

brought together by fate


Billy was a ladies man

Tony was a little crazy

Art was the silent one

Ray was often hazy


we did our best to 

groove a sound

the music sucked but we

became pals

haven't seen them since the 80s

i wonder where they are now


life's waves constant

beating on the shore

they sweep for a moment

then they are no more


i wonder every now and then

how their lives turned out

some successful,

some hit rock bottom

of that, i have no doubt


but life goes on

and we all manage

somehow

and maybe its best we

don't always know

where they are now
