Family - Good Friend Of Mine lyrics

Well I heard through the world you have travelled News came by on the grapevine So I hope you don't seem to be simple, no Cause you were a good friend of mine We were just friends back in schooldays Shared cigarettes, girls and wine You got lucky, came into some money You were a good friend of mine You know I left school and earned money Things were not for versified But you could afford to be educated You were a good friend of mine Said I've worked like a slave till my dad died Well, mother and me, we went crying Still paid out to the chaplain, oh Lord You were a good friend of mine Meet Mary my wife and the kids here All our food it came off the breadline I guess you're what they call a gay bachelor, yeah And you're still a good friend of mine Now you hear me, we will be together We're gonna go to your place or mine We don't need to live if we've had it all And of course you're a good friend of mine I said we're healthy, my my my You're still a good friend of mine
