You and I, we're buddies And we've been since we first met Me and you, we've sure been through Our share of laughter and regrets Lord knows we've had our bad days More than once we've disagreed But you've always been a friend to me Well, you can be so stubborn There's times I think you just like to fight But I hope and pray I live to see the day When you say I might be right There's times I'd rather kill you Than listen to your honesty But you've always been a friend to me You've always been, time and again The one to take my hand And show to me, that's it's OK to be Just the way I am You give no apologies 'Cause you've always been And you will 'til God knows when Yeah, you've always been A friend to me
