Started out alright But it only gets worse every day My mind is sharp Enough to see that you're slippin' away I once was strong Could stand on my own two feet Should-a heard me sing But now I can barely speak This is what you get for tryin' Days are so long and the nights never seem to end I'd give all that I have for an hour with you, my friend With you, my friend We were born so old We just didn't know it yet How could we see It was as good as it was gonna get Right here, right now The words I want are buried deep I can't tell you how You give me everything that I need This is what you get for tryin' Days are so long and the nights never seem to end I'd give all that I have for an hour with you, my friend With you, my friend With you, my friend Walk a hundred miles just to trample the dust Knowin' that I know you're right You could sit by the fire of the bridges you've burned Doesn't keep you warm at night Doesn't keep you warm at night Days are so long and the nights never seem to end I'd give all that I have for an hour with you, my friend With you, my friend With you, my friend With you, my friend With you, my friend
