Old Friend - Dean Brody

It’s been so many years since we laughed and played 'neath this oak

I hope you don’t mind me stoppin' by to catch up

Maybe tell a few jokes

Your mama still makes the sweetest tea this side of Memphis

It’s good to see some things never change in this town with no fences

Why all the friends that you make when you’re young always the best

I haven’t found one like you, at least not yet

It’s good to see you, old friend

It’s good to see you, old friend

Man that old tree fort has sure gotten high off the ground

Where we choked down our first beer, practiced our cussin' and threw dirt bombs

Defendin' our town

Remember talkin' bout the army, and goin' on and on 'bout Kelly-Ann

You became one heck of a pilot, and I got her ring on my hand

Why all the friends that you make when you’re young always the best

I haven’t found one like you, at least not yet

It’s good to see you, old friend

It’s good to see you, old friend

I’ll never forget the day they said you went down in that plane

I’m so glad you’re finally at home, asleep in this shade

I hope you like these flowers I got you, they’re red

Thanks for listenin', sure do miss you old friend
