Friend - Van Zant

Friend, since I can’t remember when

Seems like forever we’ve been together

Hey, how long has it been?

Friend, I hope you know that you’re my hero

Never once thought of yourself

Always there to help

Man you’re something else

In the dark you were the light

When the truth was hard to find

When I needed someone to call me on it

You’d call me on it every time

Through all the good, through all the bad

I knew you always had my back

The best part of being who I am

Is that I get to call you friend

Some got ‘em by the hundreds

But when that thunder comes a-rumbling

They’re off and running

Makes me glad that I got one good friend

God knows you’ve had your moments, too

Sometimes I wonder if you knew

How it meant the world to me

To get to be a friend to you

And when I stumble, when I slip

You never let me quit

Always knew just what to say

What I needed to hear, when I needed to hear it

Through all the good, through all the bad

I knew you always had my back

The best part of being who I am

Is that I get to call you friend

In the dark you were the light

When the truth was hard to find

When I needed someone to call me on it

You’d call me on it every time

Through all the good, through all the bad

I knew you always had my back

The best part of being who I am

Is that I get to call you friend

Friend, when I look back on this crazy life

At least I know I got one thing right

If all I ever get to do

Is to get to call you my friend, my old friend
