Friends Don't Let Friends

(album: What A Song Can Do - 2021)

[Darius Rucker (Lady A):]
Alright
(Ooh-ooh)

[Charles Kelly (Thomas Rhett) {Thomas Rhett & Hillary Scott}:]
I got a buddy living out in Jacksonville
In love with a woman with looks to kill
He called me outta the blue just the other night
(Yeah, he was gonna put a diamond on her hand)
(Then he) {caught her running 'round with another man}
{So I booked me a ticket for the early A.M. flight}
That's right

[All (Charles Kelly):]
You know friends don't let friends drink alone
Gotta have a little help to get that memory gone
If you're gonna make a bad decision
You shouldn't make it on your own
Yeah, friends don't let friends drink alone
(No, they don't)

[Darius Rucker (Carly Pearce) {Both}:]
Well, I got another buddy in Birmingham
Got cut loose by the old bossman
Said he's out the door, headed for the neon lights
(Oh, he's gonna need someone to pick up the tab)
(Talk it out, maybe split a cab)
{Tell 'em everything's gonna be right}

[Charles Kelly:]
Yeah, that's right

[All (Carly Pearce):]
You know friends don't let friends drink alone
Ain't gonna let 'em sit around and listen to them old sad songs (Them old sad songs)
If you're gonna make a bad decision
You shouldn't make it on your own
No, friends don't let friends drink alone

[Darius Rucker:]
No, they don't

[Charles Kelly (Darius Rucker):]
Hey, Darius
If you're going to the bar, will you get me one more?
(I got you, brother)
Oh, yeah
(Hey, listen)

[All:]
If you need a wingman
(If you need a wingman)
I can hold a cold can
(I can hold a cold can)
Yeah, I'll pick up the phone, man
Won't leave you hanging out to dry
Buddy, I can split a twelve-pack
(You know, that's right)
I won't leave you by yourself, Jack
(No, sir)
(You know I got your back)
And I know you got mine, yeah (Woo)

You know friends don't let friends drink alone
It takes a couple good old boys to tie one home
Oh, if you're gonna make a bad decision
You shouldn't make it on your own
No, friends don't let friends drink alone
Friends don't let friends (Friends, friends) drink alone

Woo
No, they don't
Oh, no, they don't (No, they don't)
You know they don't
Don't let friends drink alone
Drink alone
Dial my number, buddy, I'll pick up
I'll come help you catch that bus
'Cause friends don't let friends drink alone
Save that empty stool for me (For me)
I'll come running in one, two, three (One, two, three)
'Cause friends don't let friends drink alone
