My Old Drunk Friend lyrics
My old drunk friend, it's good to see you again
[ Every time you walk in I should run the other way
My old drunk friend, you're lookin' kinda thin
I won't ask where you've been, you never want to say
I'll buy you a drink when I get into town
And we'll go out walking 'till our boots are run down
We'll walk through this town where all the alleys are
haunted
Though the streets are deserted these ghosts remain
undaunted
And you're laughing louder in my ear with every bottle
of beer
My old drunk friend, it's good to see you again
Every time you walk in I should run the other way
My old drunk friend, you're lookin' kinda thin
I won't ask where you've been, you never want to say
I should have moved to New York City, but I never was
that cool
I just languished in the Midwest like some old romantic
fool
And the streetlights shine down on the bottles we have
broken
'Till the road is paved with diamonds from a thousand
lost love tokens
And my logic just seems more clear with every bottle of
beer
My old drunk friend, it's good to see you again
Every time you walk in I should run the other way
My old drunk friend, you're lookin' kinda thin
I won't ask where you've been, you never want to say
My old drunk friend, we watch the moonlight grow dim
As the long night gives in to the dim light of day
