Early September and the kids start school
Leaves are floating in a swimming pool
I wish I had a proper reason to cry
A reason not so abstract
More like a broken clause in a contract
All those things you're supposed to do
I could have done them if I had you
You could have made me a righteous citizen
I could have made all those right decisions
But now I don't know who my friend is
Can you tell me, Rocky Dennis?
Now I don't know who my friend is
Can you tell me, Rocky Dennis?
Mama told me I was born a lion
Mama told me I was born with a belly to lie on
Mama told me I was born a liar
Mama told me I was born with a heart to rely on
But now I don't know who my friend is
Can you tell me, Rocky Dennis?
Now I don't know who my friend is
Can you tell me, Rocky Dennis?
Can you tell me, can you tell me tonight?
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, tonight
Can you tell me tonight?
