Harry Green was my old friend
We met in Spanish class
Helped me out of a spot I was in
He stopped a redneck from kickin' my ass
Stopped a redneck from kickin' my ass
Harry Green was strong and tal
Played on a football team
Them good ol' boys said “You better watch out
He's not what he would seem
He's not what he would seem
Harry Green was alright by me
Harry Green was alright with me
Well them high school halls can sure get rough
When you ain't like everyone else
Harry Green had to hold so much
Deep inside himself
Deep inside himself
Harry Green was middle class
Sixteen - he got a new car
I remember him in the talent show
Playin' his old guitar
Playin' his old guitar
Harry Green was alright with me
Harry Green was alright by me
It was second-hand news In the middle of the day
Sounded like rumor or lie
A Pontiac wrapped around an old oak tree
Vehicular suicide
Harry Green had died
Sometimes I wish I was still a boy
With life ahead of me
One day I'll go back and say a few words
Over Harry Green
Over Harry Green
Yeah, Harry Green was alright by me
Harry Green was alright by me
