This song is for Hunter River.
There was a baby boy
and he made some noise
in the moonlight with a drum
And I heard a cheer and an empty beer
for every song with a band he sung
It's a bitch, it's a grin,
it's a luck, it's a sin
Growin' up with a good time band
Keep keepin' on to the
beat of your drum
Cause you're keepin' time like a man
Hunter take the good times,
Hunter take the bad times
Send them down the road in a VW bus
Sittin' on the back of the bus
with your circle of friends
Yeah I always did like you,
one day they're gonna mock you
And they're gonna read about
you in the magazines
I've never seen another one like you
And you know I never will
again
And it's hard to get along
when your same damn songs
Don't say just what you mean anymore
And you cannot sleep in a motel room
With the white lines at your door
But you got a message to deliver
Got the road and the river
to help you with the pain
The road's not home
and your heart's wide open
but the river's got your last name.
Hunter, take the good times.
Hunter, take the bad times.
Send them down the road in a VW bus,
sitting on the back of the bus
with your smoke and your drink.
Well, I always did like you.
One day, they're going to mic you,
and they're going to read
about you in the magazine.
But I've never seen another one like you.
You know I never will again.
We get road hard whipped down
standing in the rain
we got our own kind of blues
everybody does.
I can see a rainbow looking in your eyes
and reflect it off your pair of shoes.
Every boy every girl
gets a piece of the world
and you're gonna get
yours someday.
Maybe pass it on through to a moon night girl
in a bar in Santa Fe boy.
Hunter, take the good times,
Hunter, take the bad times,
send them down the road
in the VW bus.
What's the road to you
when you got yourself one
good friend?
Well, I always did like you,
one day they're gonna mic you,
and they're gonna read about
you in the magazines,
and say, I never seen
another boy like that boy,
and you know I never will again.
Yeah, there never was
another like Hunter,
and there never gonna be again.
