G D7
If you're hurting, well I am too
G
And if you're wondering what you're gonna do
C
Move over, have another beer
G7 D G
You won't be lonesome 'cause your friend is here
D7
I've been thinking, but what's the use
G
'Cause the songs we're singing hold a lot more truth
C
Joking, cussing and swapping lies
G7 D G
If it helps your head, well it sure helps mine
D7
Sometimes the laughing hides a broken heart
G
Sometimes the singing shuts out the dark
C
But if none of that can ease your mind
G7 D G
A friend you can count on, works every time
D7
You can go to the country and try to be free
G
You can go to the city or sail out to sea
C
But any place will let you down
G7 D G
If a friend you can count on, just ain't around
