Old Friend Lyrics


Was it really years ago?
It seems like only yesterday
The last time that I saw
You laugh at me and fly awayI remember all of the good times
And the songs we used to sing
Old friend, we sure have missed you
But you ain't missed a thingLord, you should've heard the music
And all the changes it's gone through
But the funny thing is lately
It keeps on easing back to youBut there's always something missing
It'll never be the same
Old friend, we sure have missed you
But you ain't missed a thingThey've been writin' books about you
And the stories that they tell
Make you look like some kind of angel
And we both know you're as mean as hellWell, I've had my share of hard times
But I've lived through the strain
Old friend, I sure have missed you

But you ain't missed a thingPeople talk about you
After all this time
You were many things to many people
But you were a friend of mineI've been thinking 'bout how long
You've been gone, the things you've never seen
But old friend, I sure have missed you
But you ain't missed a thingOld buddy, we sure've missed you
But you ain't missed a thing

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Shooter Jennings (born Waylon Albright Jennings in 1979, ) is an American country music singer, the only child of Waylon Jennings and Jessi Colter. His middle name comes from his father's drummer, Richie Albright. His father nicknamed him "Shooter" after he urinated on a nurse shortly after birth (as the elder Jennings wrote in his 1996 autobiography).

Shooter Jennings lived his first few years in a crib on his parents' tour bus. By age five, he was playing drums. Between tours, he took piano lessons. He started playing guitar at fourteen and sometimes played in his father's band. He and his father recorded a few things together when they happened to have some microphones set up and the tape recorder plugged in. At age sixteen, Jennings discovered rock 'n' roll.

As an adult, Jennings left Nashville, Tennessee to seek his fortunes in Los Angeles. He assembled and performed with Stargunn, a southern rock band whose sound he described as Lynyrd Skynyrd mutating into Guns N' Roses. Stargunn performed at local clubs for six years, built a rabid following and earned praise from the local music press. But the Hollywood party scene eventually began to bother him. He says, "I was posing as a rocker—a country guy trying to be something he wasn't."

On March 30, 2003, Jennings dissolved Stargunn and moved to New York City to spend time with his girlfriend and sort out what he wanted to do next. An unexpected gig at the House of Blues a few weeks later revived his creativity. He returned to Los Angeles to form another band, the 357s. After six weeks in the studio, he completed his first solo album, Put the O Back in Country. Universal South released the album in early 2005.

Jennings portrayed his father in the Johnny Cash biopic, Walk the Line. He is the host of Shooter Jennings' Electric Rodeo, a two-hour weekly music show on Sirius Satellite Radio's Outlaw Country channel. He currently dates Drea de Matteo. Shooter Jennings' second solo album "Electric Rodeo" was released on April 04, 2006.
