John Hiatt - My Old Friend lyrics

I thought we were gonna make that bridge, what did I know

Me and my expectations was always high

"Like a Rolling Stone" is playing on the radio

It made you cry

But we got by

CHORUS:

My old friend

You make me feel young again

My old friend

You're just as pretty as you were back then

A Corvair with no floorboards, a Gibson Hummingbird

Driving south to the mouth of the riversong

Patchouli oil and motor oil

And you knew all the words

Now you're looking fine

In a hook-up line

CHORUS

BRIDGE:

You've got kids, I've got kids

And they all want to know

Just what is what like when we were young

I tell them I'm no different now

Just late for the show

So grab your "Aqualung"

The loading has begun

CHORUS

My old friend

My old friend

My old friend
