If I closed my eyes it didn't hurt quite so bad
'costonight I've just lost the best friend I've ever had
you were a maverickrunning all away from New Orleans
we'd tell stories 'round the campfire lateat night

when it was down to just you and me.

Good friend, why did youhave to go?
Just when I was getting to know you
I'll sing this song toshow
You were a good friend
They don't make 'em quite like you
And inmy memory
You'll always be a good good friend to me.

You said I got ahome, boy
Haven't seen it for so long
Said I'm going home, boy
My workis done
I can feel it in my bones.

Good friend, why did you......
