[Verse 1]
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

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

[Verse 2]
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

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

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