Friend by Van Zant

Friend since I can't remember when
Seems like forever we've been together
Hey, how long has it been?

Friend, I hope you know that you're my hero
Never once thought of yourself
Always there to help, man, you're somethin' else

In the dark you were the light
When the truth was hard to find
When I needed someone to call me on it
You called me on it every time

Through all the good, through all the bad
I knew you always had my back
The best part of being who I am
Is that I get to call you friend

Some got 'em by the hundreds
But when that thunder comes a rumblin' they're often runnin'
Makes me glad that I got one good friend

God knows you've had your moments too
Sometimes I wonder if you knew
How it meant the world to me to get to be a friend to you

And when I stumble, when I slip
You never let me quit
Always knew just what to say
What I needed to hear when I needed to hear it

Through all the good, through all the bad
I knew you always had my back
The best part of being who I am
Is that I get to call you my old friend

Yeah, in the dark you are the light
When the truth was hard to find
When I needed someone to call me on it
You called me on it every time

Through all the good, through all the bad
I knew you always had my back
The best part of being who I am
Is that I get to call you friend

When I look back on this crazy life
At least I know I got one thing right
If all I ever get to do is get to call you my friend
My old friend
