LYRICS:

"One Friend"

Well I've been on the road for a year so
got a heavy load that don't get any lighter, oh no
Whether slow or fast, can't escape my past
It's overcast and it don't get any brighter, don't you know?

Tried all kinds of pills to cure my ills
But nothing fills the aching void within me, oh no
In honky-tonks and bars, I must have downed a thousand jars
but the inner scars refuse to go away

But there's one friend I know will never judge me
When I'm feeling low, he'll come up close and nudge me
And should I wake in fright at the terrors of the night
Well he just lets me know he's there and it's all right

Well, about last May, on a cold wet, day
This ragged stray decided he'd adopt me, oh yeah
Wouldn't go away, so I let him stay
He's with me ev'ry day and I guess that he's an answer to my prayer

There were things that I saw in that crazy war
On a foreign shore, that are really best forgotten, oh yeah
But it's etched too deep, steals my sleep,
At times it causes me to weep and think life is so unfair

But there's one friend I know will never judge me
When I'm feeling low, he'll come up close and nudge me
And should I wake in fright at the terrors of the night
He just lets me know he's there and it's all right
He just lets me know he's there and it's all right
