I guess Phoenix hard times and hard work helped shape the mold We pushed an old Chrystler a hell of a lot further than we rode I remember when our biggest dream Was breakin' the bank on some pinball machine Well ol' Jim hit the jackpot in Idaho Falls, Idaho After all of this time, he's still a best friend of mine, one of a kind In Missoula Montana out under that unending sky There in a valley it would make any southern boy smile With the stars and the bars and a breeze Hank and his lady are takin' it easy Deep in the west you might say colonial style After all of this time, he's still a best friend of mine, one of a kind He was a legend, I was a redneck and green The first to believe, he took me under his wing Now the edges are still pretty rough But when I'm loggin' that guitar and struttin' my stuff Old Buddy, old friend, you were the start of the dream And after all of this time, he's still a best friend of mine, one of a kind All laughin' and jokin' aside I can honestly say and say it with pride Somewhere, sometime in this life of mine I must have done somethin' all right Somewhere, sometime in this life of mine I must have done somethin' all right
