Mark Heard - Second Best Friend lyrics

My second best friend doesn't need to do The things that tangle up most people in some way My second best friend doesn't need to view Life as useless when pain gets in the way Doesn't mind being number two Spot one's already occupied, it's true My second best friend stands just five feet and four But this friend has opened up the door, opened up the door To my best friend, friend number one My second best friend helps me when I'm down And tells me not to worry 'bout a thing And even when I feel that I'm twelve feet below the ground My friend says words to me that makes me wanna sing Doesn't mind being number two Spot one's already occupied it's true My second best friend stands just five feet and four But this friend has opened up the door, opened up the door To my best friend, friend number one Sometimes I wish that everybody had a friend like my Second best friend to take them by the hand But then I'd rather they knew my best friend who came to die Two thousand years ago, he's really quite a man Doesn't mind being number two Spot one's already occupied it's true My second best friend stands just five feet and four But this friend has opened up the door, opened up the door To my best friend, friend number one
