When You Got Good Friends Lyrics - Legend - Lynyrd Skynyrd

You got to love ol' Charlie Daniels 

You got to cut the rug with Wet Willie too 

And you got to be a fan of the Marshall Tucker Band 

Before I'll sit down and have a drink with you 

Yes, Bakersfield has got ol' Merle Haggard 

He's a bad, bad boy, yes indeed 

Nashville's got a million and one guitar pickers 

But I guess my favorite would be the CDB 

[Chorus] 

Yes there's a few good rockers in New York City 

Guess the big la, it never cared for me 

So won't you tell all them Hollywierd writer people 

That it just don't make a damn 

When you got good friends like me 

Never dick on good ol' Waylon Jennings 

Or Willie Nelson, Bob Wills or me 

Well they're playin' that good ol' country-western 

You know this thing they call the Texas swing 

[Chorus]
