Old friend It's good to know that's what you've been Through thick and thin You stood by me Old friend We were so much younger then But we sure roped the wind Ridin' through this thing called life Don't know where I'd be without The kind of friend I'm missin' now it's true The only light I ever had Through the good and through the bad was you Old friend It's hard to think a friend like you Is something I could ever lose or win But I'm glad that for a moment's time I had you right here by my side Old friend Old friend I wish it was what could have been I hope you know you'll live again In my memory Old friend
