|
Found a dirt road beneath my feet
|
Must have wandered off the main street
|
When I was looking up instead of looking down
|
I was enjoying the city sights
|
Wanted to compare them with the northern lights
|
I guess that's how I wound up way outside of town
|
Now I'm wondering if I should go back
|
Or search around for an unbeaten track
|
I wish that you were here to show me how
|
Oh my friend, oh my friend
|
I'm wondering what you would do now
|
'Cause I wasted my good looks
|
Oh television and beer
|
And cynical heroes with nothing to say
|
Now I'm living in my second stage
|
Between my youth and my middle age
|
Hope when it's over I don't feel the same way
|
Just because you've left the bad behind
|
Doesn't guarantee what you'll find
|
So I'm thinking of you to make me strong
|
Oh my friend, oh my friend
|
Am I going where I belong
|
150 rum by the double shot
|
Warmed up in an aluminum pot
|
I'm trading my tomorrows for today
|
Life's a gamble when you don't toe the line
|
I want to let it ride every time
|
Winning or losing, learning something along the way
|
If this song sounds like a fan letter
|
It's 'cause you just keep getting better
|
I want to thank you for your high and lonesome sound
|
Oh my friend, oh my friend
|
Thank God there's still good friends around
|
