Some called him genius, some said he was mad
I never knew him but I wish that I had
With the smoking and his drinking and his head in the clouds
I can still hear him singing, saying out loud

Play me a tune and I'll buy you a beer
Tell me the story you want me to hear
Take one last look before your time ends
Remember the music, remember the friends

He no longer sings or plays his guitar
He lost his voice to the smoke in the bar
Too many whiskeys, too many beers
He couldn't stop the shaking, couldn't stop the tears

Play me a tune and I'll buy you a beer
Tell me the story you want me to hear
Take one last look before your time ends
Remember the music, remember the friends

Time has moved on, some things have changed
The singers are different now, the song is the same
Sing one last chorus together as friends
Remember the music, it never ends

Play me a tune and I'll buy you a beer
Tell me the story you want me to hear
Take one last look before your time ends
Remember the music, remember the friends

Play me a tune and I'll buy you a beer
Tell me the story you want me to hear
Take one last look before your time ends
Remember the music, remember the friends...

Remember the music, remember the friends...
Remember the music...
