People Who Died Lyrics - Alabama Ass Whuppin' - Drive By Truckers

Johnny sniffing glue, he was 12 years old 

Fell to the Earth on Easter night 

Cathy was 11 when she pulled the plug 

On 26 reds and a bottle of wine 

Bobby got leukemia, 14 years old 

He looked like 65 when he died 

He was a friend of mine 

Those are people who died, died 

They were all my friends, and they died 

Brian got busted on a narco rap 

He beat the rap by rattin' on some bikers 

He said, "Hey, I know it's dangerous, but it sure beats Riker's" 

But the next day he got offed by the very same bikers 

Those are people who died, died 

They were all my friends, and they died 

Herbie pushed Tony from the Boys' Club roof 

Tony thought that his rage was just some goof 

But Herbie sure gave Tony some bitchen proof 

"Hey," Herbie said, "Tony, can you fly?" 

But Tony couldn't fly, Tony died 

Those are people who died, died 

They were all my friends, and they died
