“Dedicated Friend”

Has anybody seen my flower?
It has gone from where I laid it down
I have only been away an hour
And I saw it when I left for town

So if you see it, won’t you call me promptly?
It is more than just a question of time
It was two-toned and full-blown
And a dedicated friend of mine

Has anybody seen my Chevy?
It is gone from where I shut it down
I’ve been told that it was very heavy
When I used to drive it into town

So if you see it, won’t you call me promptly?
It is more than just a question of time
It was two-toned and full-blown
And a dedicated friend of mine

[break]
“Whoa!”

Has anybody here seen Jesus?
He is gone from where I laid him down
He was almost dead from helping people
And he asked me for a ride to town

So if you see him, won’t you call me promptly?
Oh, it’s more than just a question of time
He was two-toned and full-blown
And a dedicated friend of mine
They all are two-toned and full-blown
And dedicated friends of mine

“Take it on home, Red!”
