[Verse 1]
Some roads that you take
Some bonds will choose to break
I swore I'd no longer be the pallbearer
But I carried you to bed
So you could rest your head
You were taking off a load, heavy drinking

[Verse 2]
The world, it carries on
Your memories in songs
And your pictures on my wall
Are not forgotten

[Pre-Chorus]
And all the bobbing heads in sync
And all have got a lot on their minds to think about

[Chorus]
But you carry on
In pictures and in songs
And the unmade bed you slept in
Where I laid you down to rest one last time
Goodbye, dear friend
Goodbye, dear friend
[Verse 3]
Some stories break your heart
And some with such applaud
Buried deep inside where it's okay to cry
Some boys won't shed a tear
But with a tale like this here
It can break me down and get me where it hurts the most

[Pre-Chorus]
And all the bobbing heads in sync
And all have got a lot on their minds to think about

[Chorus]
But you carry on
In pictures and in songs
And the unmade bed you slept in
Where I laid you down to rest one last time
Goodbye, dear friend
Goodbye, dear friend
Goodbye, dear friend
Goodbye, dear friend
