Hendrix Jimi My Friend Lyrics

My Friend Lyrics

HEY, LOOK OUT FOR MY GLASS UP THERE MAN!

 THAT'S MY DRINK MAN THA'S MY DRINK ALRIGHT

 MAKE IT A DOUBLE OR EH

 SOMBODY HAS TO SING

 SOMEBODY WILL SING

 SOMEBODY WILL SING RIGHT?

 I DON'T KNOW

 

 Y'ALL PALL ME THAT BOTTLE

 AND I'LL SING YOU ALL A REAL SONG

 YEAH!

 LET ME GET MY KEY AHUM

 

 WELL I'M LOOKING THROUGH HARLEM

 MY STOMACH SQUEAL JUST A LITTLE MORE

 A STAGECOACH FULL OF FEATHERS AND FOOTPRINTS

 PULLS UP TO MY SOAP-BOX DOOR

 NOW A LADY WITH A PEARL-HANDLED NECKTIE

 TIED TO THE DRIVER'S FENCE

 BREATHES IN MY FACE

 BOURBON AND COKE POSSESED WORDS

 HAVEN'T I SEEN YOU SOMEWHERE IN HELL

 OR WAS IT JUST AN ACCIDENT?

 YOU KNOW HOW I FELT THEN 

 AND SO A

 

 BEFORE I COULD ASK WAS IT THE EAST OR WEST SIDE?

 MY FEET THEY HOWLED IN PAIN

 THE WHEELS OF A BANDWAGON CUT VERY DEEP

 BUT NOT AS DEEP IN MY MIND AS THE RAIN

 AND AS THEY PULLED AWAY I COULD SEE HER WORDS

 STAGGER AND FALLIN' ON MY MUDDY TENT

 WELL I PICKED THEM UP BRUSHED THEM OFF

 TO SEE WHAT THEY SAY

 AND YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE

 'COME AROUND TO MY ROOM WITH THE TOOTH IN THE MIDDLE 

 AND BRING ALONG THE BOTTLE AND A PRESIDENT'

 

 AND-EH SOMETIMES IT'S NOT SO EASY, BABY

 ESPECIALLY WHEN YOUR ONLY FRIEND 

 TALKS SEES LOOKS AND FEELS LIKE YOU

 AND YOU DO JUST THE SAME AS HIM

 GETS VERY LONELY UP THIS ROAD BABY

 YEAH HMM YEAH

 

 GOT MORE TO SAY

 

 WELL I'M RIDING THROUGH LA HA

 ON A BICYCLE BUILT FOR FOOLS 

 AND I SEEN ONE OF MY OLD BUDDIES

 AND HE SAY 'YOU DON'T LOOK THE WAY YOU USUALLY DO'

 I SAY ' WELL SOME PEOPLE LOOK LIKE A COIN-BOX'

 HE SAY 'LOOK LIKE YOU AIN'T GOT NO COINS TO SPARE'

 AND I LAID BACK AND I THOUGHT TO MYSELF, AND I SAID THIS

 I JUST PICKED UP MY PRIDE FORM UNDERNEATH THE PAY PHONE

 AND COMBED THIS BREATH RIGHT OU OF MY HAIR

 AND SOMETIMES IT'S NOT SO EASY

 ESPECIALLY WHEN YOUR ONLY FRIEND

 TALKS SEES LOOKS AND FEELS LIKE YOU

 AND YOU DO JUST THE SAME AS HIM

 

 I JUST GOT OUT OF A SCANDINAVIAN JAIL

 AND I'M ON MY WAY STRAIGHT HOME TO YOU

 BUT I FEEL SO DIZZY I TAKE A QUICK LOOK IN THE MIRROR

 TO MAKE SURE MY FRIEND'S HERE WITH ME TOO

 AND YOU KNOW GOOD WELL I DON'T DRINK COFFEE

 SO YOU FILL MY CUP FULL OF SAND

 AND THE FROZEN TEA LEAVES ON THE BOTTOM 

 SHARING LIPSTICK AROUND THE BROKEN EDGE

 AND MY COAT THAT YOU LET YOUR DOG LAY BY THE FIRE ON

 AND YOUR CAT HE ATTACKS ME FROM HIS PIL-BOX LEDGE

 AND I THOUGHT YOU WERE MY FRIEND TOO

 MAN, MY SHADOW COMES IN LINE BEFORE YOU

 I'M FINDING OUT THAT IT'S EH NOT SO EASY

 SPECIALLY WHEN YOUR ONLY FRIEND 

 TALKS, LOOKS, SEES, AND FEELS LIKE YOU

 AND YOU DO THE SAME JUST LIKE HIM

 

 LORD IT'S SO LONELY HERE HMMMM YEAH

 YEAH!

 PASS ME THAT BOTTLE OVER THERE

 YEAH YEAH OK
