I didn't know him I wish I did But know he's dead He was a nice kid He got good grades He was the quarter back But all he lacks Is a sense of judgment So he got on the bike Without a care or like And he crashed and burn And now its his turn To go to heaven Chorus: Why do these things happen to ordinary people Why do these things happen at all So ask yourself What would you do If your best friend died in front you In front of you? The boy that died Everyone that ever saw him cried and cried But only if he hadn't got on that killer of life He might have had a wife He could have been so much But he's dead And all that's left is his head That's deformed So this is the end for him Chorus: Why do these things happen to ordinary people Why do these things happen at all So ask yourself What would you do If your best friend died in front you In front of you? R. I. P., Marshall, That was his name He even played a good football game In heaven he will be Waiting patiently for all to see Bye-bye Marshall, I wish I knew Who, you were Chorus: Why do these things happen to ordinary people Why do these things happen at all So ask yourself What would you do If your best friend died in front you In front of you?
