[Verse 1]
Kathy, there was time when I thought of
No one else but me and myself
Being on my own
And how can I start to apologize
For not being there to dry your eyes
When you were all alone

[Chorus]
Flesh and blood, Kathy
Eye to eye
You're my friend and family
You've been good, Kathy
To me and I know that
That's as good as good can be

[Verse 2]
Kathy, do you remember when
I fell in love with one of your friends
And we left you by yourself
And you were all torn up inside
But for my sake you tried to hide
The hurtin' that you felt

[Chorus]
Flesh and blood, Kathy
Eye to eye
You're my friend and family
You've been good, Kathy
To me and I know that
That's as good as good can be
[Verse 3]
Kathy, all grown up now
With pretty eyes and mountain flower
Coming into bloom
And sometimes, you know, the words aren't there
To say the things you need to hear
So I wrote this song for you

[Chorus]
Flesh and blood, Kathy
Eye to eye
You're my friend and family
You've been good, Kathy
To me and I know that
That's as good as good can be

[Outro]
You've been good, Kathy
To me and I know that
You're as good as good can be
