You Were A Good Friend

If I closed my eyes it didn't hurt quite so bad
'Cause tonight I've just lost the best friend I've ever had
You were a maverick running all away from New Orleans
We' d 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
I'll sing this song to show
You were a good friend
They don't make 'em quite like you
And in my memory
You'll always be a good good friend to me .
You said I got a home, boy
Haven't seen it for so long
Said I'm 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
I'll sing this song to show
You were a good friend
They don 't make 'em quite like you
And in my memory
You'll always be a good good friend to me...
