Friends

It's been so long since I've seen you, my old friend



I remember your eyes how they would shine

Those crazy times when you and I fooled around

I remember the time you fell in love

Didn't know how to say goodbye to your baby



You made me take the goodbye note around

And that little girl, she cried and cried

She asked me if I knew exactly why you'd gone



I told a lie, I said you felt

She'd be much happier with someone else

But then you'd do the same for me



Remember when we stayed out late

We'd cause a fight but we would never stay to the end

I loved you then, I love you still, you know I think I always will

You're a good friend, a good friend to me



Who was it, who was it, who was it, who was it

Came for me when I was stranded in the bad man's land

Who was it, who was it, who was it

Who put up bail for me when I was so desperate to get out



Who believed with me that I was not guilty

Who gave me beer when I was thirsty

And who gave me twenty-five dollars to hold



I loved you then, I love you still

You know I think I always will

You're a good friend, a good friend to me for so long
