My Old Friends

She was five-foot-two and she talked real nice
But that girl kept my heart on ice
In a cooler that she stole from an ex-boyfriend
I try not to drink to yesterday
All them bad times with bad folks are so ingrained
But I'll take this whole bottle down for tomorrow night

I robbed that convenience store in Dadeville
I was the first to climb to the top of heaven's hill
I swear that shit burned a hole right in my chest
But I'm my momma's favorite son
And you can't ever really have too much fun
And my old friends will tell you that if you can track 'em down

But it wasn't all bad
No it wasn't so bad
Cause I still got my old friends even if they're fading fast
So it was sure nice to see you, but I'd hate to keep you
Since all we are now is old friends

No man on earth can stop the sunset
But I'll be damned if I regret the ones that we watched turn to stars
You know that I love you, I always have and I still do
But you know I just don't like to say it out loud

I have tried my very best to keep the pain and the emptiness
Out of my face when I come back through town
Don't think I'm gonna keep visiting, It might be years before you see me again
So this sad song belongs to my old friends

But it aint all bad
No aint so bad
Cause I still got my old friends even if they're fading fast
So it was sure nice to see you, and I'll always need you
Since all we have now is old friends
I'll always have all my old friends
