You Can't Make Old Friends (Live)

[Intro: Dolly Parton]

Can we sit closer to ya?

Case I wanna touch ya or somethin'

[Verse 1: Kenny Rogers]

What will I do when you are gone?

Who's gonna tell me the truth?

Who's gonna finish the stories I start

The way you always do?

[Verse 2: Kenny Rogers]

When somebody knocks at the door

And someone new walks in

I will smile and shake their hands

But you can't make old friends

[Chorus: Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton, Both]

You can't make old friends

You can't make old friends

It was you and me, (Yep) since way back when

You can't make old friends

[Post Chorus: Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton]

Sing somethin'

Alright

[Verse 3: Dolly Parton]

How will I sing when you're gone?

'Cause it won't sound the same

Who'll join in on those harmony parts

Whеn I call your name?

[Chorus: Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton, Both]

You can't make old friends (You can't makе old friends)

You can't make old friends

It was you and me, since way back when

You can't make old friends

[Bridge: Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton, Both]

When Saint Peter opens the gate

And you come walking in

I'll be there just waiting for you

'Cause you can't make old friends

You can't make old friends

No

[Verse 4: Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers, Both]

And when I'm out on the stage all alone

And I hear the music begin

We all know that the show must go on

But you can't make old friends (No, no)

[Chorus: Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton, Dolly Parton]

You can't make old friends

Can't make old friends

And you and me, will be young again

You can't make old friends (You will be young too)

(I'm sorry I messed that up)

You and me, will be together again

[Outro: Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers]

You can't make old friends

What?

Not the way you've always been

You can't make old friends, just say that

You can't ('Cause you can't make old friends)

You can't, you, good—

Oh, Kenny, I love you

And you can make old friends
