Your hat hung low, how did you see?
It the only band that you would sing
It was a long, long, long,
long, long, long, long, life
Did they make you feel ashamed
Did they push you hard into the night?
Oh Scotty, please forgive me,
I didn't mean to be like this
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
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, life
Did they make you feel ashamed
They push you up into the night
Oh, Scotty, please forgive me
I didn't mean to be like this
I would treat you better, my friend
I left a message, let's go get a coffee
Let's make the past, the past
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, long, time
Did they make you feel ashamed
Did they push you hard into the night?
Oh, Scotty, please forgive me
I didn't mean to be like them
I would treat you better, my friend
I went to your Catholic funeral
And all my friends were crying
But I just listened to the church
and said you'd gone 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
They push you hard into the night
Oh, Scotty, please forgive me
I didn't mean to be like that
I would treat you better, my friend
Oh, Scotty, you're a drummer
