Lyrics:

Well, you and I, we're buddies
And we've been since we first met
An' me and you, well, we've sure been through
Our share of laughter and regret

Lord knows we've had our bad days
And more than once we've disagreed
But you've always been a friend to me

You can be so stubborn
There's times I think you just like to fight
And I hope and pray I live to see a day
When you say I might be right

And there's times I'd rather kill you
Than listen to your honesty
But you've always been a friend to me

You've always been, time and again
The one to take my hand
And show to me that it's okay to be
Just the way I am, with no apology

Oh, you've always been
And you will 'til God knows when
Yes, you've always been a friend to me
