Oh it was the first week of June And I already knew For a while That you'd be going Soon as the summer began But it didn't set in Until you were on that plane It felt like I was losing One of my very best friends Sometimes we gotta leave We gotta find the things That we're seeking All the things we're needin' The things that you leave behind Often will cross you mind But you won't forget them You won't ever forget them ‘Cause friends like those Never really go They never really say goodbye And you and me are always gonna be Best friends until we die Until we die-e-e-e Until we die-e-e-e All some of my best friends They already have children They got lives with women Women I've never met
Their kids probably wouldn't Know me from chocolate pudding But I guess it's just the same I don't think it changes a thing Friends like those Never really go They never really say goodbye And you and me Are always gonna be Best friends Even after we die After we die and turn to dust And there ain't no one around that remembers us After we die and our bodies grow cold And they ain't no one who knows a thing About the songs we wrote The words you spoke Or that joke you told me When it's all said and done I bet we had a lot of fun And just because we ain't together again Well that don't mean you're not my friend No it don't mean you're not my friend Yeah you will always be my friend
