old friend

old friend it’s good to see your face

amazes me you always look the same

a few more lines here and there but so help me, i swear

still the same old guy you ever was

the more things change it’s good to have a few of you around

kind of like a well-worn pair of boots, i can slip right in and get comfortable

time hasn’t change a thing

we get older and we lose stuff all the time

friends die and some lose their minds

but when i sit down with you we talk about whats new

and leave the old stuff behind

we were rowdy, wild and adventurous, and we still are to some degree

but the escapades are closer to home and the police don’t phone

don’t know anyone looking for you or me

so i would just like to thank-you for your friendship

you know it means a lot to me

i can always count on you when i need a dose of reality and i hope i do the same for you

see at the gym or come over and we will try to remember a song or two

you where the better player and i was better at writing the song

and together we still just carry on

love you, old friend and it’s been good knowing you
