Story starts, quiet town Small town boy, big time frown Never talks, never plays Different path, lost his way
Then streets of red, red I'm afraid No confetti, no parade Nothing happens in this boring place But oh my god, how that all did change Now they all pray Blood stains wash away
Chorus: He said "lost my way" This bloody day Lost my way I heard him, he said "lost my way" This bloody day Lost my way All things wash away But blood stained the sun red today
I always said, somethin' wrong With little strange Ronnie Long Never laughed, never smile Talked alone, miles and miles
Gallow calls, son I say Keep your smile, and laugh all day Think once again, in this boring place For little boys, how the soon change
Now they all pray Blood stains wash away
Chorus
Yeah, well all the green things die When Ronnie go to the place He said, "Don't you dare ask why I'm cursed to wear this name"
Now we all know why children called him Ronnie Frown When he pulled that gun from his pocket They'd all fall down
