Looking for a Friend

I stopped by a place I used to know

But nobody knew my name

And I felt out of place and out of time

But I had one just the same

The new bartender did not seem to care

About a story of back then

It's gettin' hard to find 'em, have you seen 'em?

I'm lookin' for a friend

It's been a time round here, just gettin' by

Things are hard and nothin's new

And I've been waitin' for that sun to break on a cloudy afternoon

Yeah, this winter's been much colder

Than the ones I knew back then

It's gettin' hard to find 'em, have you seen 'em?

I'm lookin' for a friend

And I go down the road and back again

It's hard rememberin' where I've been

And I ain't changed

It seems the world took off

And left me, that's the way it goes

It's a lonely road the dreamer follows

Like Peter Pan in Neverland, all alone

And I'm still singin' for my supper, like I've always done

But now the business and the politics have taken most the fun

But I'll be out there chasin' sundown

And I'll be home in God knows when

I'm lookin' out to find one, I'm hopin' I might see one

I'm lookin' for a friend

And I go down the road and back again

It's hard rememberin' where I've been

And I ain't changed

It seems the world took off

And left me, that's the way it goes

It's a lonely road the dreamer follows

Like Peter Pan in Neverland, all alone

I stopped by a place I used to know

But nobody knew my name
