Passing By The Graveyard (song For John B.) Lyrics - Eddie Money

The boy was genius 

When he played the guitar 

He lost control of it 

And took it too far 

Until one rainy night 

He never came home 

She waited in the front yard 

Standing all alone, all alone 

Standing all alone 

He was a fool 

He overplayed his role 

He couldn't stop 

He had to go man go

He loved his whiskey 

And he loved his cocaine 

But he really loved that girl 

And he'll never see her again 

Passing by the graveyard 

(Whoa, whoa, whoa) 

It's lonely and it's so hard 

(Whoa, whoa, whoa) 

She never really goes far 

(Whoa, whoa, whoa) 

She's standing at the graveyard 

(Whoa, whoa, whoa) 

She knew the cop 

She knew the doctor, too 

They tried to save him 

There was nothing they could do 

Photos 

Don't waste your life away 

Like my long-lost friend 

What happened to him 

Can always happen again, yes it can 

(Whoa, whoa, whoa) 

You never have to go far 

(Whoa, whoa, whoa) 

It's lonely and it's so hard 

(Whoa, whoa, whoa) 

When you're thinking 'bout the graveyard 

(Whoa, whoa, whoa) 

When the cold wind blows 

And it sweeps across her shoulder, yeah, yeah 

Now the whole world knows 

She'll never let him go 

She just can't let him go 

Buried him deep 

In a piano box 

Made sure he was lying 

With the lid facing up 

It's cold and lonely 

And the wind sings his song 

Remember him 

When you're passing along 

Passing by the graveyard 

(Whoa, whoa, whoa) 

It's lonely and it's so hard 

(Whoa, whoa, whoa) 

Never have to go far 

(Whoa, whoa, whoa) 

Thinking 'bout the graveyard 

(Whoa, whoa, whoa) 

Passing by the graveyard 

(Whoa, whoa, whoa) 

It's lonely and it's so hard 

(Whoa, whoa, whoa) 

Never have to go far 

(Whoa, whoa, whoa) 

When you're passing by the graveyard 

(Whoa, whoa, whoa) 

Sing it one more time 

(Whoa, whoa, whoa) 

Sing it one more 

(Whoa, whoa, whoa) 

By the graveyard 

(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
