Old Friend
My old friend
I'll see you again when I'm (dead?)
We can talk and laugh and drink the night away
Like we did
My old friend

When we were kids
No, you did not have a home so you hung around
We'd stay up all night long and we'd pretend
That we were dead
When we were kids

You grew up harder than I did
You found the nightlife
You drug us both in
And we raised can like raisin' cane was goin' out
Cause we never thought much about gettin' old anyway
Now I'm findin' that I wish I could go back once again
My old friend

No, you never let me down
As years went by
You went all yours ways and I went mine
Like the wind
My old friend
(Instrumental)

You grew old faster than I did
You know that nightlife will do you in
You raised cane 'till the cane was all burned out
And now for both our sakes that I grow old
And I'm still findin' that I wish I could go back
Once again

My old friend
I'll see you again another day
We can talk and laugh and bow our heads and pray
Like we did

My old friend (x4)
