He was a friend of mine
And he was a friend of mine
Every time i think about him now
Lord i just can't keep from crying
'cause he was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
And he was a friend of mine
He died on the road
A thousand miles from home
And he never harmed no one
He was a friend of mine
And he was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
And he was a friend of mine
Every time i think about him now
Lord i just can't keep from crying
'cause he was a friend of mine
And he was a friend of mine
