Old Friend

(앨범: Gypsy Road - 2015)

It's been so many years since we laughed and played 'neath this oak
I hope you don't mind me stopping by to catch up
Maybe tell a few jokes
Your mama still makes the sweetest tea this side of Memphis
It's good to see some things never change in this town with no fences

Why all the friends that you make when you're young always the best
I haven't found one like you, at least not yet
It's good to see you, old friend
It's good to see you, old friend

Man that old tree fort has sure gotten high off the ground
Where we choked down our first beer, practiced our cussing and threw dirt bombs
Defending our town
Remember talking bout the army, and going on and on 'bout Kelly-Ann
You became one heck of a pilot, and I got her ring on my hand

Why all the friends that you make when you're young always the best
I haven't found one like you, at least not yet
It's good to see you, old friend
It's good to see you, old friend

I'll never forget the day they said you went down in that plane
I'm so glad you're finally at home, asleep in this shade
I hope you like these flowers I got you, they're red
Thanks for listening, sure do miss you old friend
