Lyrics

It’s hard to say I’m sorry
It’s hard to say I’m wrong
When it’s been so easy
For us to get along
For all my best intentions
I’m the one who’s built a wall
And if we’re bein’ honest
I’ve been known to know it all
The truth is I just love you
And with everything we’ve lost
I couldn’t stand to lose you
’Cause each other’s all we’ve got
So let’s not waste a minute
Bein’ mad and keepin’ score
Could you just forgive me
If you’ll forgive me more
Sometimes I call you crazy
Sometimes I call you out
Sometimes I call you up at 2 AM
I call you when you’re happy
Or when you’re missin’ your daddy
I have to call you family
But I get to call you friend
My best friend
I’ll be yours until the end
Blood is thick and whiskey’s thin
When we’re together
Friend, my old friend
Ins and outs and outs and ins
We’ve been family all our lives
But we’ll be friends, friends forever
We’ve all got our secrets
Wish nobody knew
I’m so glad that I’m the one
You’ve always told ’em to
And I’d give you my happy
If it made you happy more
You know I’d never take it
What’s mine is always yours
Sometimes I call you crazy
Sometimes I call you out
Sometimes I call you up at 2AM
I call you when you’re happy
Or when you’re missin’ your daddy
Ihave to call you family
But I get to call you friend
My best friend
I’ll be yours until the end
Blood is thick and whiskey’s thin
When we’re together
Friend, my old friend
Ins and outs and outs and ins
We’ve been family all our lives
But we’ll be friends, friends forever
We’ve been family all our lives
But we’ll be friends, friends forever
