Kenny Rogers - You Were A Good Friend lyrics

If I closed my eyes it didn´t hurt quite so bad

´cos tonight I´ve just lost the best friend I´ve ever had

you were a maverick running all away from New Orleans

we´d tell stories ´round the campfire late at night

when it was down to just you and me.

Good friend, why did you have to go?

Just when I was getting to know you

I´ll sing this song to show

You were a good friend

They don´t make ´em quite like you

And in my memory

You´ll always be a good good friend to me.

You said I got a home, boy

Haven´t seen it for so long

Said I´m going home, boy

My work is done

I can feel it in my bones.

Good friend, why did you ......
