Вступление
Another dobro/resonator infused tune from the Saints Eleven album I Told You
[Intro]
Hey old friend, I came to see you today
I’m sorry I couldn’t be here when they laid you down
The way things are going at work I just couldn’t get away
I can’t believe the way this small town is growing everyday
Remember that time your mamma caught us with those cigarettes
Every time your girlfriend called you got upset
Did you ever marry, do you have any kids?
You talked about joinin the Army did you ever find the nerve?
We were so hell bent on going to State, did you ever go that far
I took a job in the oil field by then, I needed the cash
Remember that one time that guy punched me in the mouth
I never thought we’d make it out of there alive
It’s crazy, just the other day, I had you on my mind
I saw your folks in church last June, hadn’t seen them in years
They told me what your sister went through
I had to fight back the tears
She was strong enough to deal with us two
she could beat anything
Remember that time the police chased us through downtown
Told me not to worry “I’ll lie for you”
Well old friend, I think it’s getting kinda late
I’ll try not to be a stranger when I come back to town
I’ll set this bottle of Jim Beam by your headstone and flowers
I know the seal is broken but I couldn’t drink alone
Hey old friend I came to see you today
