Lyric My Friend

Found a dirt road beneath my feet
Must have wandered off the main street
When I was looking up instead of looking down
I was enjoying the city sights
Wanted to compare them with the northern lights
I guess that s how I wound up way outside of town
Now I m wondering if I should go back
Or search around for an unbeaten track
I wish that you were here to show me how
Oh my friend, oh my friend
I m wondering what you would do now
Cause I wasted my good looks
Oh television and beer
And cynical heroes with nothing to say
Now I m living in my second stage
Between my youth and my middle age
Hope when it s over I don t feel the same way
Just because you ve left the bad behind
Doesn t guarantee what you ll find
So I m thinking of you to make me strong
Oh my friend, oh my friend
Am I going where I belong
150 rum by the double shot
Warmed up in an aluminum pot
I m trading my tomorrows for today
Life s a gamble when you don t toe the line
I want to let it ride every time
Winning or losing, learning something along the way
If this song sounds like a fan letter
It s cause you just keep getting better
I want to thank you for your high and lonesome sound
Oh my friend, oh my friend
Thank God there s still good friends around
