"A Friend Like You" lyrics

Six hundred miles to go across New Mexico
Might make the state line by dawn
Cans and bottle tops piling up since our last stop
You've been quiet all night long

Close your eyes and you start cursing at the rain
It's harder to leave sometimes than it is to stay

And you said, you've been driving since Santa Fe
We smoked our last joint yesterday
A thousand things I want to say
But a friend like you could be the end of me

You rolled the window down
Let the wind blow your hair around
Ran your fingers through the air

Stared into the orange sky
Laid your hand over mine
You said, I'm never going back there

Close your eyes and you start talking in your sleep
I know you've got secrets to keep

You've been dreaming since Abilene
Why the hell do you have to be so sweet?
I want to say a thousand things
But a friend like you could be the end of me

You said you've got a friend in Colorado Springs
You could get back on your feet
Rocky Mountain skies
I'm going to miss you the rest of my life
Did we ever say goodbye?

Close my eyes and I start speeding away
It's harder to leave someone than it is to stay

I've been driving since Santa Fe
I smoked my last joint yesterday
A thousand things I want to say
I've been dreaming since Abilene
Why the hell do you have to be so sweet
I want to say a thousand things
But a friend like you could be the end of me
