lyrics

Come play with me
We really need a drummer
Scottie you’re a drummer
Come play with me

You called me ‘sweetheart’
Your hat hung low (how did you see?)
You listened to STP
It was the only band that you would sing

It was a long long long long long long long long life
Did they make you feel ashamed of your sensitive ways?
Did they push your heart into the night?
Oh, Scottie, please forgive me!
I didn’t mean to be like them
If I could do it over I would treat you better, my friend

You told me that you were getting busy
You’d have to quit the band
I saw my hard work go down the drain
And then you showed up in your pickup
I told you to “Get your shit and go.”
You tried to tell me sorry,
But I just pointed down the road

It was a long long long long long long long long life
Did they make you feel ashamed of your sensitive ways?
Did they push your heart into the night?
Oh, Scottie, please forgive me!
I didn’t mean to be like them
If I could do it over I would treat you better, my friend

I called you weeks later,
But you did not answer
I left a message:
“Let’s go get a coffee.
Let’s make the past the past.”
Then they called me,
Told me you hung yourself from a bridge
A place you went to as a kid
And I just listened to the bus

It was a long long long long long long long long life
Did they make you feel ashamed of your sensitive ways?
Did they push your heart into the night?
Oh, Scottie, please forgive me!
I didn’t mean to be like them
If I could do it over I would treat you better, my friend

Weeks later, I went to your Catholic funeral
And all my friends were crying,
But I just listened to the church
Your parents stood up and said you were going to Hell
Some friends told me they touched you when you were just a child

It was a long long long long long long long long life
Did they make you feel ashamed of your sensitive ways?
Did they push your heart into the night?
Oh, Scottie, please forgive me!
I didn’t mean to be like them
If I could do it over I would treat you better, my friend

Come play with me
We really need a drummer
Scottie you’re a drummer
Come play with me
