Forever (2023)

Trying to identify this band. Found by a friend on an old mixtape of bands from Boston. The song is probably from late '70s/early '80s.

LYRICS:
Sorrowful Jones was a friend of mine
I'd run into from time to time
We would laugh and joke and share a bottle of wine
We were partners in crime

Sorrowful Jones was a friend indeed
He helped me in my hour of need
But we drifted apart when we disagreed
We both wanted to lead

Sorrowful's name was Johnny
He was a dreamer just like me
Looking back, life with him was funny
I hope he got to be where he always wanted to be

Sorrowful Jones was a friend of mine
I'd run into from time to time
We would laugh and joke and share a bottle of wine
We were partners in crime

Sorrowful Jones was a friend indeed
He helped me in my hour of need
But we drifted apart when we disagreed
We both wanted to lead

Sorrowful's name was Johnny
He was a dreamer just like me
Looking back, life with him was funny
I hope he got to be where he always wanted to be

Ride high, ride high
Sorrowful Jones
Ride high, ride high
Sorrowful Jones
Ride high, ride high
Sorrowful Jones
Ride high, ride high
Sorrowful Jones
