Old Friend Songtext
von Waylon Jennings

(Waylon Jennings)

Was it really years ago
It seems like only yesterday
The last time that I saw
You laugh at me and fly away.

I remember all of the good times
And the songs we used to sing
Old friend we sure have missed you
But you ain′t missed a thing.

Lord you should've heard the music
And all the changes it′s gone through
But the funny thing is lately
It keeps an easing back to you.

But there's always something missing
It'll never be the same
Old friend we sure have missed you
But you ain′t missed a thing.


They′ve been writin' books about you
And the stories that they tell
Make you look like some kind of angel
But we both know you′re mean as hell.

I've had my share of hard times
But I′ve lived through the strain
Old friend I sure have missed you
But you ain't missed a thing.

--- Instrumental ---

People talk about you
After all this time
You were many things to many people
But you were a friend of mine.

I′ve been thinking bout how long
You've been gone the things you've never seen
But old friend I sure have missed you
But you ain′t missed a thing.

Old buddy we sure have missed you
But you ain′t missed a thing...
