Bucky Little Wing - Islands

Passed him by a long time ago

But didn’t stop to pick him up that day even though he was late

We drove by

A year later my family moved, he moved to the same town far away

We became friends, smoked cigs, played ball together in all kinds of weather

We worked on our jump shot

Bucky little wing, you flew away

His name was Charles, he was my friend

We got along, but in the end

Bucky little wing, you flew away

It was tough being weak, while Bucky was strong

His daddy died in a car wreck

And I got sick of being pushed around

Standing my ground when Bucky had my back

Hiding in a bush and it’s okay

We started rolling with a different crew

Before I knew it we drifted to

Bucky little wing you flew away

Once some racist kids, this is what I heard, pushed him underneath a moving

truck

It swerved but got his head on accident

They ran like devils in the night

Word was he died.

I didn’t cry but oh, oh how I tried

Monday came and he did too, so he didn’t die

Just some violet bruises and one shut eye

Can’t believe that he survived, he was like a ghost after that day

But he was just so mighty you might say

His name was Charles, he was my friend

We got along but in the end

Bucky little wing you flew away

Bucky little wing you flew away
