Tom Was A Friend Of Mine

(альбом: American Jackpot / American Girls - 2020)

The clouds were rolling in and I was driving when the grapevine broke the news
Over trail creek it was snowing I was hoping that the rumor wasn't true
Then silence filled the air like there would never be another sound again
Tears came to my eyes and I felt like I had lost my dearest friend

Tom was a friend of mine
We'd known each other most of our lives
We used to hang out all the time
Tom was a friend of mine

It's impossible to put to words the way he always seemed to understand
How you felt like he was sitting there just shooting straight talking man to man
And I'm thankful that I got to see him at his very best from time to time
And I pray that we may meet again someday somewhere further down the line

Tom was a friend of mine
We'd known each other most of our lives
We used to hang out all the time
Tom was a friend of mine

Say hi to Spike and Lefty when you reach the great beyond
And I hope you're somewhere you feel free where you belong

Tom was a friend of mine
We'd known each other most of our lives
We used to hang out all the time
Tom was a friend of mine
We'd known each other most of our lives
He wrote a lot of songs with me in mind
Tom was a friend of mine
