Friend of Mine

Friend of mine I can't undo the wrong
I could have given so much more than just these crazy songs

I walked down by the river and I thought of you today
You always seemed to understand the words I couldn't say

But when we'd sing together those country harmonies
I never heard a sweeter voice come so easy and so free

Friend of mine at times you were so wise
With the sweet ways of a playful child and sorrow in your eyes
You came riding through, but your heart made you stay
I could use some of your honesty now that you've gone away

I can feel your footsteps walking here with me
I never heard a sweeter voice come so easy and so free

Friend of mine singing to me now
I wanted to say I cared, I didn't quite know how
Now driving on these dusty roads where we spent so many days
Your songs wrap close around me like the heavy summer haze

The coast of California holds me like your melodies
I never heard a sweeter voice come so easy and so free
