And The Mice Rejoice!

I buried my best friend in the backyard

It was hard it was hard

I found the biggest rock that I could carry

And threw it down on the dirt, it hurt it hurt it hurt

I remember back when you were homeless

Well you weren’t homeless but you had ran away

You’re parents didn’t care where you were going,

We let you in, we let you stay

You were a curse to every mouse in the house

But you were a blessing for us

You were not afraid to do, what we couldn’t do

No, you had no problem drawing blood

And the ghost of every mouse you killed

I’m sure they haunted you

But you didn’t give a shit about that ‘cause

There was nothing that you couldn’t sleep through

You were young and you were wild and you were sweet

You saw me through some really bad times

You saw me happy, you saw me fun

I think that you had more friends than I had

Because you were so easy to love

I had to leave you at home when I went out on the road

But I drew your picture on almost every wall of every where I’d go

Now I don’t know what to do, I don’t know if I can along without you

Some times I just can’t believe it’s true

And I know that you’re gonna come home soon.

It wouldn’t be the first time that you ran away

But then I remember digging your grave

And I feel like I should have dug one for me too.
