lyrics

you had a passion for punk rock and patched corduroys
scaring your mother by dressing up just like a boy
she'd get so angry she'd threaten to send you away
off to wyoming where young troubled girls are scared straight

once after school you asked me what i wanted to be
i said a preacher the kind that you see on tv
you played along said whatever you do you'll be great
i laughed it off but i swear i was never the same

sarah so and so
i thought you should know
i think of you sometimes

you stood in youth group and said jesus christ was alright
then pastor gary asked "is he the lord of your life?"
you started crying and heads bowed we prayed for your soul
i watched you leave but i never did stand up and go

sarah so and so
i thought you should know
i think of you sometimes

i heard you moved to missouri and went back to school
found a fiance and everyone said he was cool
then on a friday you shot yourself down by a lake
your father said it was tragic and no one's to blame

sarah so and so
i thought you should know
i think of you sometimes
i think of you sometimes
every once in awhile
i think of you sometimes
