It's been so many years since we laughed and played 'neath this oak I hope you don't mind me stoppin' by to catch up Maybe tell a few jokes Your mama still makes the sweetest tea this side of Memphis It's good to see some things never change in this town with no fences Why are the friends that you make when you're young always the best I haven't found one like you, at least not yet It's good to see you old friend It's good to see you old friend Man that old tree fort has sure gotten high off the ground Where we choked down our first beer, practiced our cussin' and threw dirt bombs Defendin' our town Remember talkin' bout the army, and goin' on and on 'bout Kelly-Ann You became one heck of a pilot, and I got her ring on my hand Why are the friends that you make when you're young always the best I haven't found one like you, at least not yet It's good to see you old friend It's good to see you old friend I'll never forget the day they said you went down in that plane I'm so glad you're finally at home, asleep in this shade I hope you like these flowers I got you, they're red Thanks for listenin', sure do miss you old friend
