Jerry Reed (The Dixie Dancekings) A Friend Lyrics

Now, this old life ain't something,
That you live all by yourself,
There always comes a time you need a friend.
Sometimes the world can get so heavy,
and the road can get so long,
that you need someone to lend a helping hand.

I've learned life the hard way
I've took all my knocks and lumps,
But when I look back down the road at where I've been,
I see that all the things I've done in this old life
have been more fun 'cause I shared them with someone
who was a friend.

You've got to care about one another,
be a friend and be a brother
Cause you'll always gonna need someone that you can lean on.
You've got to help each other out, that's what this
life is all about.
Cause there ain't no way that you can make this journey alone.

Yeah, I guess that I've been lucky, cause I've been there and back.
Yeah, I've seen life about every which way you can.
But, as far as I'm concerned, the greatest thing that
a man can learn,
is when your down it's great to turn to a friend.
