you were A good friend

If I closed my eyes it didnt hurt quite so bad
Cause tonight Ive just lost the best friend Ive ever had
You were a maverick running all away from New Orleans
Wed tell stories round the campfire late at night
When it was down to just you and me.
Good friend, why did you have to go?
Just when I was getting to know you
Ill sing this song to show
You were a good friend
They dont make em quite like you
And in my memory
Youll always be a good good friend to me.
You said I got a home, boy
Havent seen it for so long
Said Im going home, boy
My work is done
I can feel it in my bones.
Good friend, why did you have to go?
Just when I was getting to know you
Ill sing this song to show
You were a good friend
They dont make em quite like you
And in my memory
Youll always be a good good friend to me...
