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

And 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
