Times were so tough
But not as tough as they are now
We were so close
And nothing came between us, and the world
No personal situations
Thick as thieves us
We'd stick together for all time
And we meant it but it turns out just for a while, we stole
The friendship that bound us together
We stole from the schools and their libraries
We stole from the drugs that sent us to sleep
We stole from the drink that made us sick
We stole anything that we could keep
And it was enough
We didn't have to spoil anything
We'd always be as thick as thieves
Like a perfect stranger
You came into my life
Then like the perfect Lone Ranger
You rode away, rode away
Rode away, rode away
But not as tough as they are now
We were so close
And nothing came between us, and the world
No personal situations
Thick as thieves us
We'd stick together for all time
And we meant it but it turns out just for a while, we stole
The friendship that bound us together
We stole from the schools and their libraries
We stole from the drugs that sent us to sleep
We stole from the drink that made us sick
We stole anything that we could keep
And it was enough
We didn't have to spoil anything
We'd always be as thick as thieves
Like a perfect stranger
You came into my life
Then like the perfect Lone Ranger
You rode away, rode away
Rode away, rode away
