lyrics

I was working on 17 when you told me you had to leave
Moving westward on the Arizona trail
You said good old boy don't you even worry
I'll see you in the desert-land soon.

Now he's gone, so young.
Now he's gone, so young.

Life was passing by so fast we didn't have a chance to speak
Growing up miles apart has its own rewards
But I was a fool, lost my cool in sin and misery.
A good word from ya brother was all I ever needed

Now he's gone so young.
Now he's gone so young.

I heard the news on a Tuesday, man what a shock on my colored screen
I didn't think I had to find out this way
I knew you would tell me brother don't you even worry.
I'll see you in the desert-land soon.

Now he's gone, so young.
