Steve Earle - Old Friends lyrics
[Steve Earle - Old Friends lyrics]
Old friends they shine like diamonds
Old friends you can always call
Old friends lord, you can't buy 'em
You know it's old friends after all
It's like when you're makin' conversation
And you're tryin' not to scream
You're tryin' not to tell 'em
You don't care what they mean
Yeah, and you're feelin' really fragile
And you really can't get home
And you really feel abandoned
But, you want to be alone
Old friends they shine like diamonds
Old friends you can always call
Old friends lord, you can't buy 'em
Oh, it's old friends after all
And when the house is empty
And the lights begin to fade
And there's nothin' to protect you
Except the window shade
And it's hard to put your finger
On the thing that scares you most
And you can't tell the difference
Between an angel and a ghost
Old friends they shine like diamonds
Old friends you can always call
Old friends lord, you can't buy 'em
You know it's old friends after all
Old friends they shine like diamonds
Old friends you can always call
Old friends lord, you can't buy 'em
You know it's old friends after all
Old friends (Old friends)
They shine like diamonds
Old friends (Old friends)
You can always call old friends
Lord, you can't buy 'em
Oh, it's old friends after all
Old friends you can always call
Old friends lord, you can't buy 'em
You know it's old friends after all
It's like when you're makin' conversation
And you're tryin' not to scream
You're tryin' not to tell 'em
You don't care what they mean
Yeah, and you're feelin' really fragile
And you really can't get home
And you really feel abandoned
But, you want to be alone
Old friends they shine like diamonds
Old friends you can always call
Old friends lord, you can't buy 'em
Oh, it's old friends after all
And when the house is empty
And the lights begin to fade
And there's nothin' to protect you
Except the window shade
And it's hard to put your finger
On the thing that scares you most
And you can't tell the difference
Between an angel and a ghost
Old friends they shine like diamonds
Old friends you can always call
Old friends lord, you can't buy 'em
You know it's old friends after all
Old friends they shine like diamonds
Old friends you can always call
Old friends lord, you can't buy 'em
You know it's old friends after all
Old friends (Old friends)
They shine like diamonds
Old friends (Old friends)
You can always call old friends
Lord, you can't buy 'em
Oh, it's old friends after all
