| He was always the toughest kid | 
| But he never meant no harm | 
| But looking back I could see his fate | 
| Was tatooed on his arm | 
| Walking throught the courtyard | 
| Always there to be seen | 
| He and little Janie | 
| Together they were the king and queen | 
| He was the only one, who ever really knew | 
| He was the only one, what can we do | 
| He was the only one, he always showed us how | 
| He was the only one, where is he now | 
| Three years later at the bus stop | 
| I know I’ll never forget | 
| He looked smaller and real wasted | 
| As he bummed a cigarette | 
| And I asked him what he’d been doing | 
| And how’s little Janie anyway | 
| Seems he was drunk | 
| They had a fight | 
| Janie got hurt and they took him away | 
| He was the only one, who ever really knew | 
| He was the only one, what can we do | 
| He was the only one, he always showed us how | 
| He was the only one, where is he now | 
| I can still see him standing there | 
| Just like yesterday | 
| Leaning on a '56 | 
| Giving his secrets away | 
| Is it any wonder | 
| I feel a little lonely | 
| He’s not just the only one | 
| He’s the one and only | 
| I heard about the accident | 
| There’s not much left to say | 
| He wandered out in the middl of the freeway | 
| It must have happened right away | 
| And I though about what a shame it was | 
| Now that it’s all said and done | 
| And it may sound strange | 
| But even now | 
| He’s still the only one | 
| He was the only one, who ever really knew | 
| He was the only one, what can we do | 
| He was the only one, he always showed us how | 
| He was the only one, where is he now |
