Just a Name

Boy, I never knew your name
Oh, but what a crying shame
They said you crossed the line last night
Said you swim towards the light
Said your mind was full of mud
Mud and muscle and blood
And it's only 'cause you took that leap
That they're all talkin' in their sleep
And your friends can't believe it's true
Can't believe what the night took from you
All those nights of fun and games
Well now you're just a name
Oh, I think it's fair to say
You threw it all away
Just like Louie said
Better off than dead
Oh, it's not too harsh to say
You could've had another day
But just like Louie's prayer
Thank your God that you just don't care
Boy, they said you were chasin' the Sun
Would've done anything for anyone
So much they said was goin' great
Until you stayed out too late
Said your mind was full of mud
Mud and muscle and blood
Oh, it's only 'cause you took that leap
That they're all talkin' in their sleep
And your friends can't believe it's true
Can't believe what the night took from you
All those nights of fun and games
But now you're just a name
Oh, I think it's fair to say
You threw it all away
Just like Louie said
Better off than dead
Oh, it's not too harsh to say
You could've had another day
But just like Louie's prayer
Thank your God that you just don't care
Said your mind was full of mud
Mud and muscle and blood
And it's only 'cause you took that leap
That they're all talkin' in their sleep
And your friends can't believe it's true
Can't believe what the night took from you
All those nights of fun and games
Well now you're just a name
