THIS FRIEND OF MINE

He's got a heart of gold and common sense
He's a man of his word without pretense
And when I'm playing alone in some little room
I can feel his drumbeat and hear his vocal too

He's been a good friend to me for so many years
We've shared a lot of music and we shared some beers
He's made his mark inside my heart and I can always find
This friend of mine

He was always moving forward with the brand new day
You'd never find him just sitting there wasting away
He was always living for giving and looking for the love inside
And I can say by knowing him he's a friend of mine

I wrote a song many years ago
When he got married and I played the wedding show
The honor of love, I got the title right
Cause he's all about that, every day and night

When I look back at the times gone by
And the images that sweep across my mind
I that in the future I can always find this friend of mine
This friend of mine
