Old Friend

(Waylon Jennings)
 Was it really years ago
 It seems like only yesterday
 The last time that I saw
 You laugh at me and fly away.
 I 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 thing.
 Lord you should've heard the music
 And all the changes it's gone through
 But the funny thing is lately
 It keeps an easing back to you.
 But there's always something missing
 It'll never be the same
 Old friend we sure have missed you
 But you ain't missed a thing.
 They've been writin' books about you
 And the stories that they tell
 Make you look like some kind of angel
 But we both know you're mean as hell.
 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 thing.

 People talk about you
 After all this time
 You were many things to many people
 But you were a friend of mine.
 I'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 thing.
 Old buddy we sure have missed you
 But you ain't missed a thing...
