Friend, since I can't remember when Seems like forever we've been together Hey, how long has it been? Friend, I hope you know that you're my hero Never once thought of yourself Always there to help Man you're something else
In the dark you were the light When the truth was hard to find When I needed someone to call me on it You'd call me on it every time Through all the good, through all the bad I knew you always had my back The best part of being who I am Is that I get to call you friend
Some got ?em by the hundreds But when that thunder comes a-rumbling They're off and running Makes me glad that I got one good friend God knows you've had your moments, too Sometimes I wonder if you knew How it meant the world to me To get to be a friend to you
And when I stumble, when I slip You never let me quit Always knew just what to say What I needed to hear, when I needed to hear it Through all the good, through all the bad I knew you always had my back The best part of being who I am Is that I get to call you friend
In the dark you were the light When the truth was hard to find When I needed someone to call me on it You'd call me on it every time Through all the good, through all the bad I knew you always had my back The best part of being who I am Is that I get to call you friend
Friend, when I look back on this crazy life At least I know I got one thing right If all I ever get to do Is to get to call you my friend, my old friend
