Langhorne Slim & The Law Song for Sid lyrics

as the earth stood still, sid began to move
i understood the words he said, he understood mine too
i watched sid suffer, i saw sid strong
now tell me where do the great ones go when theyre gone

he told me it would be alright, go and have fun
he said he loved his family, but it was time to run
i loved that old man, i wrote him this song
now tell me where do the great ones go when theyre gone

im so glad, i got to say goodbye

and when you run into jack sidney, tell him i said hi
i loved that old man, pray hes where he belongs
now tell me where do the great ones go when theyre gone

i loved that old man, i wrote him this song
now tell me where do the great ones go when theyre gone
now tell me where do the great ones go when theyre gone
now tell me where do the great ones go when theyre gone
