The Night That Kenny Died Lyrics - John Hiatt

He was the kind of kid you did not want to sit by 

He kept his boogers in his desk he wore a neck tie 

And he never washed his hair 

You wished he wasn't there 

But everybody cried 

The night that Kenny died 

Everybody cried 

The night that Kenny died 

It was so touching all the girls that would not touch him 

He drew their pictures in his books I used to watch him 

And then he'd pick his nose 

And wipe it on his clothes 

But everybody cried 

The night that Kenny died 

Everybody cried 

The night that Kenny died

Died on a motorcycle 

We never understood 

That he was holdin' on tight 

Through the middle of the night 

Starin' at a [?] 

It seemed so spooky that the nerd we all detested 

Would die so gloriously and so unexpected 

A wonderful guy God knows 

They kept the casket closed 

And everybody cried 

The night that Kenny died 

Everybody cried 

The night that Kenny died 

And everybody cried 

The night that Kenny died 

Everybody cried 

The night that Kenny died

And everybody cried 

The night that Kenny died 

Everybody cried 

The night that Kenny died 

And everybody cried 

The night that Kenny died 

Everybody cried 

The night that Kenny died
