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)
