My right hand partner
Used to work it for a living
He'd take the backseat
Of all that he was given

Taking me in the right direction
Those crooked eyes
That know it all

Just here to take stock
He'll take the chain
He'll take the ball
He was my favorite friend of all
He was my favorite friend of all
He was my favorite friend of all
