Harry Green was my old friend We met in Spanish class Helped me out of a spot I was in
He stopped a redneck from kicking my ass Stopped a redneck from kicking my ass
Harry Green was strong and tall Played on a football team
Them good old boys said "you better watch out He's not what he would seem
He's not what he would seem"
* Harry Green was alright by me Harry Green was alright with me
Well, them high school halls Can sure get rough When you ain't like everyone else
Harry Green had to hold so much Deep inside himself deep inside himself
Harry Green was middle class Sixteen, he got a new car I rеmember him in a talent show
Banging on his old guitar Banging on his old guitar
( * )
It was second hand news in The middle of the day Sounded like a rumor or a lie
A Pontiac wrapped around an old oak tree Vehicular suicide harry Green had died
Sometimes I wish I was still a boy With life ahead of me
One day, I'll go back and say a few words Over Harry Green over Harry Green
Yeah, Harry Green was alright by me Harry Green was alright by me
