every now and then
there comes along a friend
he takes the load to ease your mind
and he puts peace in your head
the reigns are flying loose
but he's got it under control
now there's alot that he won't tell you
but that's the way that he rolls
lord thank you for such a friend
always right there when you need him
a diehard 'til the end
oh lord thank you for such a good friend
there'll be somethin' that he'll need
and i'll be there for him
now he comes from mississippi
hattysburg's the place
where his mom and daddy
gave him everything he'd need
and he is a man of honor
right down to the bone
i met his dad and i know
where he gets what i have come to love
lord thank you for such a friend
always right there when you need him
a diehard 'til the end
oh lord thank you for such a good friend
there'll be somethin' that he'll need
oh and i'll be there for him
like his dad before him
straight up the family tree
gentlemen too humble
to take more than they need
and when it comes down
to him or you or me
he'll be the last in line
to take what you and i don't need
lord thank you for such a friend
always right there when you need him
a diehard 'til the end
oh lord thank you for such a good friend
there'll be somethin' that he'll need
and i'll be there for him
