Old Friends

Yes, ma'am, we're sorry, but we're sure that your daughter

Went out and caught a ride to party for a while

Twice now she's arrested, for narcotic possession

If we kept track of her she'd probably go straight to jail

And the weight was coming down

Shoulders that were not built to support a force

That tried to erase her

He was not what you thought when you got in the car

And he asked you how far you would go with him to pay

Don't cry and don't fight it – just try to keep it quiet
