If He Came Back Again Lyrics
(Barry Alfonso, Craig Bickhardt)
-Solo-
You'd have thought a king had died, the way those people cried
Instead of one more broken entertainer
It struck those in his trade, he could have had it made
If he'd only been a little saner, they travelled far to see him
Oh, the humble and the high, they said goodbye as if he were a friend
Now somewhere he is smiling
On those who idolized him
But would they even recognize him
If he came back again
-Solo-
He was born of modest means and had outrageous dreams
They never let him rest till he fulfilled them
While he rode that train of song, his devils tagged along
The whiskey and the pills just couldn't kill him
He didn't mean to be a rebel, nor the real ones never do
They're born apart from ordinary men
And somewhere he is smiling
On those who sanctified him
But would they even recognize him
If he came back again
-Solo-
It's an old familiar story, but it's a damn shame none-the-less
They don't forgive his kind, until they lay them down to rest
And somewhere he is smiling
On those who idolized him
But would they even recognize him
If he came back again
He came back again-Solo-
Oh, if he came back again
