If I closed my eyes it didn't hurt quite so bad 'Cause tonight I just lost the best friend I've ever had You were a maverick runnin' all away from New Orleans We'd tell stories 'round the campfire late at night When it was down to just you and me Good friend, why did you have to go? Just when I was gettin' to know you, I'll sing this song to show You were a good friend, they don't make 'em quite like you And in my memory, you'll always be a good, good friend to me You said I got a home, boy, haven't seen it for so long Said I'm going home, boy, my work is done I can feel it in my bones Good friend, why did you have to go? Just when I was gettin' to know you, I'll sing this song to show You were a good friend, they don't make 'em quite like you And in my memory, you'll always be a good, good friend to me Good friend, why did you have to go? Just when I was gettin' to know you, I'll sing this song to show You were a good friend, they don't make 'em quite like you And in my memory, you'll always be a good friend to me And in my memory, you'll always be a good, good friend to me
