A Friend - Jerry Reed

Now this old life ain’t somethin' that you live all by yourself

There always comes a time you need a friend

Sometimes this world can get so heavy and the road can get so long

That you need someone to lend a helpin' hand

Well I learned life the hard way I took all my knocks and lumps

But when I look back down the road at where I’ve been

I can see that all the things that I’ve done in this ol' life have been more fun

Cause I shared them with someone who was a friend

You’ve got to care about one another be a friend and be a brother

Cause you’re always gonna need someone that you can lean on

You’ve got to help each other out that’s what this life is all about

Cause there ain’t no way that you can make this journey alone

Well I guess that I’m just lucky cause I’ve been there and back

Yes I’ve seen life about every which way you can

But as far as I’m concerned the greatest thing that a man can learn

Is when you’re down it’s great to turn to a friend

Well I guess that I’m just lucky cause I’ve been there and back…

Turn to a friend
