Song someone wrote about Richie
 

Check out this song I found on Bandcamp.

https://hectichobo.bandcamp.com/track/richie-sambora

So Jon be good to Richie
You've been friends for such a long time
Surely you see how hard it can be
To stand in your shade while you shine

He sang "I'll be there for you" in Atlanta
And he meant every word that he sang
He co-wrote your songs
For thirty years long
Hopin' you'd feel the same way

So bring him back
Cuz that boy, his whole life he gave you all that he had

Now brothers will brawl, hell, they'll rumble
They'll fight tooth and nail, blood and bone
But it's a long way from New Jersey to L.A.
And they'll still welcome each other home

So bring him back
Cuz that boy, his whole life he gave you all that he had

So Jon be good to Richie
You've been friends for such a long time
Surely you see how hard it can be
To stand in your shade while you shine

Wow so they started writing songs about the dynamic duo? <3

Well, the song isn't the best out there but the lyrics are spot on! *sigh*

"So Jon be good to Richie
You've been friends for such a long time
Surely you see how hard it can be
To stand in your shade while you shine"

Thanks for sharing! :)

The lyrics are only spot on if you wear Richie goggles.

Poor Richie. Eye rolling here.

that Atlanta IBTFY in 2011, tho...
those ad libs, oh God...

Oh, is this video the one that's mentioned in the lyrics?

Or only completely innacurrate if you wear Jon goggles.... :rolleyes:

Regardless, it's dreadful... :mrgreen:

Thingy, I don't deny your first statement and I wholeheartedly agree with your second statement.

Thank Becgy :mrgreen:

OMG. I didn't notice that typo at all. Sorry!! LOL

Exactly.

"If you want me.. I’ll be there for you, if you need me.. just call my name and I’ll be there for you! take the weight of the world, off of your shoulders now, I’ll be there.. to carry you.. to hold you, to hear your voice, to tell you, to tell you everything’s gonna be alriiight, to get you thru the night when you can't be on your own, not alone, not alone, I need to hear you, hear you, hear you, hear your voice, oh carry on, c'mon! Not alooooone!"

and all the others, so heartbreaking.
He was singing those lyrics with all his heart.
It's amazing how even in lyrics made up on stage he manages to touch our (at least mine lol) hearts like that... sigh.
I remember every IBTFY of each show in in the middle of 2011 ppl came here to write down these ad libs, it was amazing.

Remember one he sang "just tell me my friend that you'll be coming back again"?
