As Good As Gone - 12/31/23 02:58 PM
In Memoriam,
I lost a childhood friend this year to cancer. He exhibited extraordinary courage, dignity and
grace in his final battle. Above all he never lost his sense of humor. He basically laughed his
way out of this world. I was lucky to have him in my life and I sure do miss him. This song is not
meant to be depressing but to affirm his philosophy of “Might as well have a good time cause
we’re not getting out of here alive”. Thanks in advance for listening, Tom

As Good As Gone
I caught every GD’d red light and if it wasn’t bad enough
Today was not the day for me to be late
his mother was with the priest she wouldn’t give up on us
it was a miracle that she never lost her faith
he said Now I’ve got to move on there’s no more tomorrow
I’d hate to make this short story long
I’ve been stuck here in this hell since Jesus left Chicago
When the sun comes up I’ll be as good as gone
All the sudden we were sixteen sitting by the lake
Tellin lies and drinking Thunderbird
How could we have known oh for heaven’s sake
it would take this long before the lifeboats burned
he said Now I’ve got to move on there’s no more tomorrow
I’d hate to make this short story long
I’ve been stuck here in this hell since Jesus left Chicago
When the sun comes up I’ll be as good as gone
Adios, so long, take care, see ya
A shape shifting eagle in the sky
Before you go look up let’s have one more tequila
Let’s toast our youth before we say goodbye
he said Now I’ve got to move on there’s no more tomorrow
I’d hate to make this short story long
I’ve been stuck here in this hell since Jesus left Chicago
When the sun comes up I’ll be as good as gone
