When the sun got big

And the lights went down

We used to share a drink

And let the demons out

We let the good times rock

We let the bad times roll

We used to laugh a lot

You had a lot of soul

Old friends in better times

Old friend of mine

When the going got hard

When times were tough

We had our backs to the wall

You used to strut your stuff

With a head held high

And a heart so big

One fist to the sky

To shake a leg

Old friends in better times

Subtle drum break

Even though even though

We miss you now

Look forward don't look back

We'll get by somehow

Old friend of mine

And so I raise my glass

In a last goodbye

Leave in peace old friend

For me you'll never die

The best thing I can say

After all this time

You were a real friend of mine

Old friends in better times
