Song for Rick (Danko)

He came from Canada
Sang harmony and played the bass guitar
Drivin’ round the country
Playin’ rhythm and blues
In an old rusty van
He led the life he chose
Oh he came from Canada

He left Ontario
Another kid who
Lived for rock n roll
The world swirled around him
In a neon haze
Of cheap motels and fun-house faces
He left Ontario

18 years of playin’ in the Band
Money like water
Poured through his hands
Drugs and women, they took their toll
Greed and suicide nearly froze his soul

I met him on the road
He was hungry and tired
Of carryin’ that heavy load
He played the fiddle
We sang some songs
Drank some Southern Comfort
And stayed up til dawn
Oh, I met him on the road
