You Were A Good Friend Lyrics - Kenny Rogers

If I closed my eyes it didn't hurt quite so bad 

'Cause tonight I've just lost the best friend I've ever had 

You were a maverick running all away from New Orleans 

We'd tell stories 'round the campfire late at night 

When it was down to just you and me. 

Good friend, why did you have to go? 

Just when I was getting to know you 

I'll sing this song to show 

You were a good friend 

They don't make 'em quite like you 

And in my memory 

You'll always be a good good friend to me. 

You said I got a home, boy 

Haven't seen it for so long 

Said I'm going home, boy 

My work is done 

I can feel it in my bones.

Good friend, why did you have to go? 

Just when I was getting to know you 

I'll sing this song to show 

You were a good friend 

They don't make 'em quite like you 

And in my memory 

You'll always be a good good friend to me...
