G6
Elmo Lincoln was a friend of mine
C9 G6 C9
We used to throw papers every weekday afternoon
G6
He was makin� some dough saving up for a bike
C9 G6 C9
I was layin low I was killin time on those weekday afternoons
G G/F#
Well, our hands got black but we never got tired
Em
Till one day I quit and Elmo got fired
D C9 G6 C9
We were free every weekday afternoon
We rode that bike that he�d worked for all year
Go down to the corner store, too young to want beer
But we�d buy some baseball cards, I�d give him my gum
Cause the shit was too hard and I didn�t want none
It would always get dark and I�d make an excuse
Thinking he�d buy it But it was no use
the sun never set down for Elmo Lincoln
Not For Elmo Lincoln
Solo
I�ll never forget when old Elmo got stuck
Stealing caps from a kid he ran out of luck
We laughed at his nose but nobody had died
Just a little lost blood and a bit of bruised pride
You�d think he would quit but Elmo kept on
Just pissed his collection was gone
I guess I never really knew Elmo Lincoln
Elmo Lincoln, Elmo Lincoln, Elmo Lincoln
Solo
Well, I�ll never let go the day I awoke from a call from a friend
It�d been years since we spoke
Elmo had been killed � run down in the night
By a train without end, a train without light
You think I would cry but never I did
Couldn�t help but smile just thinkin� of that kid
That I used to run with � Elmo Lincoln
