Lyrics
You grew up honest and straight, always one of the guys
The laughs, the brews, good friends forever, drinking camaraderie
But then one night you were taken from us, gone forever lost
Stolen away in an Ashmont second and I'll never forget the cost
He was a kid from the neighborhood
Cut down in a brutal fight on a cold and lonely Ashmont night
Coming up in a turbulent neighborhood, he always stood upright
When things would turn for the wrongful doing, rob went to the right
But he was never given a chance to traverse down life's path
with all these put into perspective, noble this one's for you, number one
He was a kid from the neighborhood
Cut down in a brutal fight on a cold and lonely Ashmont night
He was a kid from the neighborhood
Cut down in a brutal fight on a cold and lonely Ashmont night
Never forget the great person you were
The pain and loss still burns
So much you had but never realized
That never came your turn
He was a kid from the neighborhood
He was a kid from the neighborhood
He was a kid from the neighborhood
Cut down in a brutal fight on a cold and lonely Ashmont night
