I wasn’t going to include this song in the collection, but here it is anyway. It gives a perspective on how innocuous my song writing (and playing) could get. Suffer through it or skip it.
Well, thanks for being my friend
Thanks for being around
When times were gettin' rough
I didn't think I was strong enough
I found you right by my side
So, thanks for being my friend
I didn't think you'd be my friend
Who'd come when I'd call out in pain
But you heard when I called out inside
You came to me, and you were my friend
So, thanks for being my friend
Thanks for being around
When times were gettin' rough
I didn't think I was strong enough
I found you right by my side
So, thanks for being my friend
You'd even let me be your lover
Till you found there was no more to share
Times and spaces we've shared together
Have changed our lives, changed our souls
So, thanks for being my friend
Thanks for being around
When times were gettin' rough
I didn't think I was strong enough
I found you right by my side
And thanks for being my friend
And I want to say thanks for lettin' me go
To respect me and love me and trust
You knew we'd never make it together
It was something you knew, that I couldn't see
And thanks for being my friend
Thanks for being around
When times were gettin' rough
And I didn't think I was strong enough
I found you right by my side
Thanks for being my friend
