It's been so long since I've seen you, my old friendI remember your eyes how they would shine
Those crazy times when you and I fooled around
I remember the time you fell in love
Didn't know how to say goodbye to your babyYou made me take the goodbye note around
And that little girl, she cried and cried
She asked me if I knew exactly why you'd goneI told a lie, I said you felt
She'd be much happier with someone else
But then you'd do the same for meRemember when we stayed out late
We'd cause a fight but we would never stay to the end
I loved you then, I love you still, you know I think I always will
You're a good friend, a good friend to meWho was it, who was it, who was it, who was it
Came for me when I was stranded in the bad man's land
Who was it, who was it, who was it
Who put up bail for me when I was so desperate to get outWho believed with me that I was not guilty
Who gave me beer when I was thirsty
And who gave me twenty-five dollars to holdI loved you then, I love you still
You know I think I always will
You're a good friend, a good friend to me for so long
