"Friend Of Mine" lyrics

Heartache is a friend of mine
We go back a long time
We pour a couple stiff drinks
And talk until we fall asleep
We've always been thick as thieves
We're probably always gonna be
We get along just fine
'Cause heartache is a friend of mine

You may think I ride alone
Nothing but a rolling stone
Flying like a lonesome dove
But I'll tell you, one friend's enough

We've always been right as rain
Some things, they don't ever change
We get along just fine
'Cause heartache is a friend of mine

Oh, so throw me to the wolves
And tie my hands behind my back
I'm used to making hell-good company
I've been through it all before
It's just another scuff on my boots
My shadow ain't no stranger to me
No, I ain't as alone as I seem

'Cause heartache is a friend of mine
We tend to toe the same line
When the world is mean and cold
We stick together brother close

Once he's there, he never leaves
But he don't really wear on me
We get along just fine
'Cause heartache is a friend of mine

Whoa, so throw me to the wolves
And tie my hands behind my back
I'm used to making hell-good company
I've been through it all before
It's just another scuff on my boots
My shadow ain't no stranger to me
Oh, I ain't as alone as I seem

'Cause heartache is a friend of mine
Oh, it's a friend of mine
