Old Friend - JJ Cale

How you been?

It would be so nice to see you, my old friend

What’s been going on?

Are you still singing that same old song?

Has your days been treating you well?

Are the nights still cold as hell?

It would be so nice to hear from you again

My old friend

I hear all the old folks are gone, I guess we’re the ones now

That’s the way it goes, those crowded days are behind us now

May your backside catch the wind

May you have many more days to spend

I could see you again

My old friend

We always knew those days would forever last

And all those friends we had would never pass

But they did and the numbers grow small

For a time we had it all

Like to see you again sometime

I’ll try to call, my old friend

May your backside catch the wind

May you have many more days to spend

I could see you again

My old friend
