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