I'll tell ya 'bout some guys that I once knew
And I know if you knew 'em you'd have loved 'em too
I knew a guy named Willy he'd drive a car so fast
I wondered just how long his life would last
He worked for farmers plowin' the fields out back
Only problem was he'd do it in his daddy's big black cadillac
Willy was one of the craziest guys I knew
And I know if ya knew him you'd have loved him too
Big ole' Larry stood about five seventeen
He had a nasty reputation for bein' mean
But once you got to know him he was quite a gas
Just don't tick him off or he'll kick your.....head in
Larry was one of the craziest guys I knew
And I know if ya knew him you'd have loved him too
Then there's Ed we called him "Ed the head"
He partied all the time and always looked well fed
He loved to ride his Harley all through the day
If he just came from the bar ya best get out of his way
Ed was one of the craziest guys I knew
And I know if ya knew him you'd have loved him too
And then there's Joe he's a one of a kind
A better friend to have you'll never find
He loves his lady and his three-two beer
He likes to pull you close and burp in your ear
Joe was one of the craziest guys I knew
And I know if ya knew him you'd have loved him too
Let me tell ya 'bout Richard he's a heck of a guy
He likes to have a drink that he won't deny
Some call him Richard some call him Rick
And he's been known to brag about the size of his.....hands
Richard was one of the craziest guys I knew
And I know if ya knew him you'd have loved him too
When I think about Billy it makes me smile
He makes people laugh that's just his style
I haven't known him long but I know him well
Most people would know him as "Billy from hell"
Billy was one of the craziest guys I knew
And I know if ya knew him you'd have loved him too
Hey there goes Loni in is four wheel drive
He can climb most anything and still survive
There's only one time I saw him get stuck
But then he was so drunk he didn't give a.....darn
Loni was one of the crasiest guys I knew
And I know if ya knew him you'd have loved him too
And last but not least there's good ole' Boyd
Chasin' those girls was what he enjoyed
Some girls say he came on just a little too strong
But Boyd always said learning last names took too long
Boyd was one of the craziest guys I knew
And I know if ya knew him you'd have loved him too
The fact is these are all my best friends
Through thick and thin and til' the end
Chances are they remind you
Of someone that you once knew
I think of all the things that we've been through
Still we stuck together like friends should do
And when I'm down and feelin' blue
I wonder if they ever think of me too
I'll tell ya 'bout some guys that I once knew
And I know if ya knew 'em you'd have loved 'em too
And I know if ya knew 'em you'd have loved 'em too
And I know if ya knew 'em you'd have loved 'em too
