You Were a Good Friend Songtext
von Kenny Rogers

If I closed my eyes, it didn′t hurt quite so bad
'Cause tonight I′ve just lost the best friend I've ever had
You were a maverick running 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 getting 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


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 getting 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 getting 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
And in my memory
You′ll always be a good good friend to me
