Lyrics

I recall when I used to come home, never had a dime
Lord, I always had a good time
And I recall drinkin' wine with one of my friends
Lord, I can't go back again
Am I losin' my own way back home?
Am I losin' a good friend that I've known?
Am I losin'? Won't you tell me how I've sinned?
Why am I losin' one of my best friends?
And I recall this friend of mine I knew so well
It goes to show, Lord, you just can't tell
Now my friend won't talk to me, let me tell you why
He thinks I've changed because of a dollar sign
Am I losin' my own way back home?
Am I losin' a good friend that I've known?
Am I losin'? Won't you tell me how I've sinned?
Why am I losin' one of my good friends?
(It's so strange) and it's so strange when you get just a little money
(It's so strange) your so-called friends want to act just a little funny
Yes, they'll blame you
But I'm not the one that's here to blame
It's you, my friend, that's really changed
It's a shame, such a shame
Am I losin' once again?
Why these things happen, Lord, I don't understand
But Lord, it can sure hurt a man
And why won't my friend take me as I am?
'Cause your friend, Lord, is the most important thing
Am I losin' my own way back home?
Am I losin' a good friend that I've known?
Am I losin'? Won't you tell me how I've sinned?
Why am I losin' one of my best friends?
Tell me, people, what good is that?
