The Only Ones

He was always the toughest kid
 But he never meant no harm
 But lookin' back, I can see his fate
 Was tattooed on his arm
 Walkin' through the courtyard
 Always there to be seen
 He and little Janie
 Together they were the king and queen
 He was the only one who ever really knew
 He was the only one, what can we do?
 He was the only one, he always showed us how
 He was the only one, where is he now?
 Three years later at the bus stop
 I know I'll never forget
 He looked smaller and real wasted
 As he bummed a cigarette
 And I asked him what he'd been doin'
 And how's little Janie anyway
 Seems he was drunk, they had a fight
 Janie got hurt and they took him away
 He was the only one who ever really knew
 He was the only one, what can we do?
 He was the only one, he always showed us how
 He was the only one, where is he now?
 I can still see him standin' there, just like yesterday
 Leanin' on a '56, givin' his secrets away
 Is it any wonder? I feel a little lonely
 He's not just the only one, he's the one and only
 I heard about the accident
 There's not much left to say
 He wandered out in the middle of the freeway
 It must have happened right away
 And I thought about, what a shame it was
 Now that it's all said and done
 And it may sound strange
 But even now, he's still the only one
 He was the only one who ever really knew
 He was the only one, what can we do?
 He was the only one, he always showed us how
 He was the only one, where is he now?
 He was the only one who ever really knew
 He was the only one, what can we do?
 He was the only one, he always showed us how
 He was the only one, where is he now?
