If You Were The Friend Songtext / Lyric

If I closed my eyes

It didn't hurt quite so bad

'Cause tonight I've just lost

The best friend I've ever had



You were a maverick running

All away from New Orleans

We'd tell stories 'round the campfire late at night

When it was down to just you and me






Good friend, why did you have to go?

Just when I was getting to know you

I'll sing this song to show

You were a good friend



They don't make 'em quite like you

And in my memory

You'll always be a good, good friend to me



You said I got a home, boy

Haven't seen it for so long

Said I'm going home, boy

My work is done, I can feel it in my bones



Good friend, why did you have to go?

Just when I was getting to know you

I'll sing this song to show

You were a good friend
