You Were a Good Friend Lyrics

You Were A Good Friend

If I closed my eyes it doesn??t hurt quite so bad
´Cause tonight I just lost the best friend I 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, mMy work is done, I can feel it in my bones
And in my memory, you??ll always be a good, good friend to me
