CAN'T BE SORRY
By Geza Keller
Geza wrote this song in the mid-1990s, as a tribute to another college friend from New Mexico Tech, Tim Franklin, who died prematurely at a young age, apparently from natural causes.
"Everyone looked up to him," Geza recalled. "He died so young."
BTC played this song at shows in its original version, which was a country song. Today it has become a ballad.
LYRICS:
Don’t you think I was surprised
When I heard the news today
About an old friend
I’d lost along the way
I remember how we all looked up
To him and what he meant
I heard he died lonely
I know he’s heaven sent
Can’t be sorry for
What you’ve been through
It’s all been said and done
I don’t think that I could ever change And I don’t think that’s wrong
If you wonder what it’s all about
Look inside and beyond
All I know it’s just another day
I’ve learned to carry on
I remember feeling crazy
Headed back there again
Back to that place where it all began
I was hanging with some old friends And having a few beers
Talking about those dreams
We’ve been chasing all these years
I couldn’t help but feeling nervous Headed back home again
Back to this life
I hope it never ends
And now I’m getting older
And a little further down the road
I’ll never forget that feeling
Of that warm desert wind
