Gallant Souls
I woke up that morning, knowing something bad would happen
Little did I know, two friends would be taken
We visited them that morning; we told ourselves everything would be fine
But, when we visited after the rumble, Johnny's monitor became a line
Me and Dally watched, but Dally couldn't bear
The cops were after him, he pulled a gun, giving the cops a scare
Dally crumbled under the street lights, the cops shot him dead
I could not believe the night I had; I felt the pounding in my head
Two friends died that night, one a hero, one a hoodlum
That's all society ever thought of them, just some greasers who were dumb
And, although they were not important in the public's eye
My life was greatly impacted, by my two best friends who died
