Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The sun's gone down since you got gone
I bet you think I'm still sitting here alone
All tore up like a whiskey label
Starin' at the key that you left on the table
Hate to tell you, baby, but you got it wrong
[PreChorus]
No, I ain't missing you like crazy
I'm keepin' better company lately
[Chorus]
I'm doing alright for the shape I'm in
Sitting by the fire with some damn good friends
Willie on my left, Jack on my right
Blowin' that smoke on a Friday night
Waylon turned up on the JBL
Girl, you probably think I'm going through hell
But I don't care if you never come back
'Cause who needs you when I got friends like that?
[Verse 2]
About this time, you and I'd be tangled up
Yeah, but that's alright, this fire's been keeping me warm enough
Holding on to you, girl, who needs that?
I got a white-knuckle grip on a whiskey glass
When it gets down to ice, I just fill it back up
[PreChorus]
On my own, girl, I might lose it
But I got buds to get me through it
[Chorus]
I'm doing alright for the shape I'm in
Sitting by the fire with some damn good friends
Willie on my left, Jack on my right
Blowin' that smoke on a Friday night
Waylon turned up on the JBL
Girl, you probably think I'm going through hell
But I don't care if you never come back
'Cause who needs you when I got friends like that?
[PostChorus]
Yeah, I got friends like that
Mm, yeah
[Bridge]
Telling me I don't need you no more (Telling me I don't need you no more)
This kinda thing is what friends are for (This kinda thing is what friends are for)
Willie on my left, Jack on my right
I'm blowin' that smoke on a Friday night
[Chorus]
Doing alright for the shape I'm in
Sitting by the fire with some damn good friends
Willie on my left, Jack on my right
Blowin' that smoke on a Friday night
Waylon turned up on the JBL
Girl, you probably think I'm going through hell
But I don't care if you never come back
'Cause who needs you when I got friends like that?
[Outro]
Telling me I don't need you no more
Yeah, girl, I got friends like that
This kinda thing is what friends are for
Yeah, I got friends like that
