    The music for the song was originally a song called "Don't Look Back", which I wrote for graduation. The new lyrics were written the day my Cousin Joey died, and I sang this song at his funeral.

    Story Behind the Song
    It was difficult or perform, but I built up the strength and courage for my Aunt and Cousin-In-Law to perform at the funeral.
    I recorded it mostly to give a copy to each of them.

    Lyrics
    Last Exit (Joeys Song)
    Matt Corkum

    God gave his only son
    And now he's taken one away
    Crucifying all of us
    With so much agony and pain

    In this life, we will never know
    Why God has done the things he's done
    In this life, we will never know
    Why God has taken him away

    Away, away from us
    We'll never hold him again
    And through the years, things will change
    Things will never be the same

    We will miss you
    You know it's true
    We will miss you
    Always and forever more

    So many tears falling down
    So many lives torn apart
    We hold each other and say "it's okay"
    But we all know it's not

    I see the tears in your eyes
    I can only imagine your pain
    I feel the love in all of us
    I know he felt the same

    Filled our lives with such happiness
    Through all the good times and the bad
    Not even thirty years old
    Oh my God, what have you done?

    We will miss you
    You know it's true
    We will miss you
    Always and forever more

    Instead of such tormenting pain
    Why can't we just feel the love?
    Just take a breath, and a good look around
    And see how much he has done

    We'll keep on driving on this road of life
    You know that's what he would want
    Think of all the great times we've shared
    And hold onto everything we can

    We will miss you
    You know it's true
    We will miss you
    Always and forever more
