Tony - Patty Griffin

Does anyone remember tony

A quiet boy, little over weight

He had breasts like a girl

When I wasnt too busy feeling lonely

Id stare over his shoulder

At a map of the world

He always finished all his homework

Raised his hand in homerooom

He called the morning attendance

With the pledge alligence to the gloom

Hey tony, whats so good about dying

He said I think I might do a little dying today

He looked in the mirror and saw

A little faggot starin back at him

Pulled out a gun and blew himself away

I hated every day of high school

Its funny, I guess you did too

Its funny how I never knew

There I was sitting right behind you

They wrote it in the local rag

Death comes to the local fag

I guess you finally stopped believing

That any hope would ever find you

Well I know that story,

I was sitting right behind you

Hey tony, whats so good about dying

He said I think I might do a little dying today

He looked in the mirror and saw

A little faggot starin back at him

Pulled out a gun and blew himself away

Hey tony whats so good about dying, dying

Hey tony whats so good about dying, dying

Hey tony, whats so good about dying

He said I think I might do a little dying today

He looked in the mirror and saw

A little faggot starin back at him

Pulled out a gun and blew himself away

Pulled out a gun and blew himself away

Pulled out a gun and blew himself away

Tony…
