Kenny Rogers You Were A Good Friend Lyrics

You Were A Good Friend Lyrics

If I closed my eyes it didn't hurt quite so bad

'Cause tonight I just lost the best friend I've ever had



You were a maverick runnin' all away from New Orleans

We'd tell stories 'round the campfire late at night

When it was down to just you and me



Good friend, why did you have to go?

Just when I was gettin' to know you, I'll sing this song to show

You were a good friend, they don't make 'em quite like you

And in my memory, you'll always be a good, good friend to me



You said I got a home, boy, haven't seen it for so long

Said I'm going home, boy, my work is done

I can feel it in my bones



Good friend, why did you have to go?

Just when I was gettin' to know you, I'll sing this song to show

You were a good friend, they don't make 'em quite like you

And in my memory, you'll always be a good, good friend to me



Good friend, why did you have to go?

Just when I was gettin' to know you, I'll sing this song to show

You were a good friend, they don't make 'em quite like you

And in my memory, you'll always be a good friend to me

And in my memory, you'll always be a good, good friend to me
