i hardly knew you in the end
faded memories of an old lost friend
were you wondering where i'd been
did you leave me knowing you were a man's best friend
my friend, my friend
do you recall late september '93
we packed up everything we owned you and me
the open road we took our time
i think we crossed every damn state line
my friend, my friend
you were my
my friend, my friend
we found a place we could stay
a little colorado mountain hideaway
do you remember what we said
we'd stay a while but we'd be back again
my friend, my friend
you were my
my friend, my friend
now we made a pitstop in tennessee
we said we found everything that we'd been missing
and on a farm you made it clear
with a hoof in your mouth you found your home you caught a deer
my friend, my friend
you were my
my friend, my friend
now in the corner of a room
you found a place to lay your old tired bones down
then a couple of kids came around
you might have been the last in line but i still love you now
my friend, my friend
you were my
my friend, my friend
