If I close my eyes, it doesn't hurt quite so bad Cause tonight I just lost the best friend I ever had You were a maverick, running all the way 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 sang the song to show You were a good friend They don't make them quite like you, and in my memory You'll always be a good, good friend to me You said, I got a homeboy, haven't seen it for so long You said, I'm going homeboy, 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 sang the song to show You were a good friend They don't make them 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 sang the song to show You were a good friend They don't make them 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
