Hey bud.....

You left a Quarter on my Tree,
I found it the next morning shinning brightly.

When the sun hits it, the reflection is so bright,
Which will remind me of that special night.

It is a reminder of my friend Rodney,
A Friendship that will last an eternity.

It was the day after Thanksgiving in 1999,
The day after the Cowboys spanked the Dolphins behind.

Through the Heat, the Cold and the Pouring Rain,
Your friendship quarter will always remain.

What a cool and special thought,
A friendship like ours, can never be bought.

If everyone had a quarter in their tree,
Just think, how happy this world would be.

It's time to stop the violence and treat people right,
So, leave a quarter on a friends tree tonight.

When things aren't going the way you planned.
When your having trouble taking that stand.
When your blessings have all run out.
You can never be sure there's always that doubt.
When you need money, but the well has been tapped.
You can't see the light, when you feel trapped.

So, Stop singing those Blues.
And, Don't Let it Get to YOU.
Don't Let it Get to YOU.

No Matter what you do.
Don't Let it Get to YOU.
Don't Let it Get to YOU.

People out on the streets, where we live.
Don't have anything, that they can give.
Why can't we build the houses, around the trees.
We got to stand like the sixties, and just say PEACE!
People are you listening, listening to me...
Someday we'll all, we'll all be FREE.

So, Stop singing those Blues.
And, Don't Let it Get to YOU.
Don't Let it Get to YOU.

No Matter what you do.
Don't Let it Get to YOU.
Don't Let it Get to YOU!
