If He Came Back Again 
(Written by Barry Alfonso & Craig Bickhardt) 
You'd have thought a king had died  
The way those people cried 
Instead of one more broken entertainer 
It struck those in his trade  
He could have had it made 
If he'd only been a little saner 
They traveled far to see him 
Oh, the humble and the high 
They said goodbye as if he were a friend 
Now somewhere he is smiling 
On those who idolized him 
But would they even recognize him 
If he came back again? 
  
He was born of modest means  
But had outrageous dreams 
They never let him rest  
Till he fulfilled them 
While he rode that train of song  
His devils tagged along 
The whiskey and the pills  
Just couldn't kill him 
He didn't mean to be a rebel 
Ah, the real ones never do 
They're born apart from ordinary men 
  
Now somewhere he is smiling  
On those who sanctified him 
But would they even recognize him 
If he came back again? 
  
It's an old familiar story 
But it's a damn shame none-the-less 
They don't forgive his kind 
Till they lay them down to rest 
Now somewhere he is smiling  
On those who idolized him 
But would they even recognize him 
If he came back again? 
Oh, if he came back again
