Run your car off the side of the road
Get stuck in a ditch way out in the middle of nowhere
Get yourself in a bind, lose your shirt off your back
Need a floor, need a couch, need a bus fare
This is where the rubber meets the road
This is where the cream is gonna rise
This is what you really didn't know
This is where the truth don't lie
You find out who your friends are
Somebody's gonna drop everything
Run out and crank up their car
Hit the gas, get there fast
Never stop to think, 'What's in it for me?'
Or, 'It's way too far.'
They just show on up
With their big ol' heart
You find out who your friends are
Everybody wants to slap your back,
Wants to shake your hand when you're up on top of that mountain
But let one of those rocks give way, then you slide back down
Look up and see who's around then
This ain't where the road comes to an end
This ain't where the band wagon stops
This is just one of those times when
A lot of folks jump off
Repeat Chorus
When the water's high
When the weather's not so bad
When the well runs dry
N.C.
You find out who your friends are
Run your car off the side of the road
Get stuck in a ditch way out in the middle of
nowhere, man I've been there
Get yourself in a bind, lose your shirt off your back
Need a floor, need a couch, need a bus fare,
Man, I've been there
Man, I've been there
