Peddle down to the river Draw some pictures in the sand Look on over the water For the sight of another's hand Oh please show me a face One that's not my own All I see on top of the water blue Is the same face I've been bringing home I'm looking for a friend A friend to runaway with me Three-thousand miles and we'll never go back We'll fade on the trembling sea You and me See 'em in downtown bars Hear 'em in uptown rooms Spend all their time on good old chums How about somebody new 'Cause I'm tired of talking to myself
Tired of drinking all alone I want to commit a full day of crimes And share it with someone close I'm looking for a friend A friend to runaway and soar Climb aboard an old iron horse Ride that train and never be bored You, me and the world In my dreams I do it over I'm back where it all began Fifteen and restless With my first and only friend I'm looking for a friend A friend to runaway with me Three-thousand miles and we'll never go back We'll fade on the trembling sea You and me
