Jerry Reed - A Friend lyrics

Now this old life ain't somethin' that you live all by yourself There always comes a time you need a friend Sometimes this world can get so heavy and the road can get so long That you need someone to lend a helpin' hand Well I learned life the hard way I took all my knocks and lumps But when I look back down the road at where I've been I can see that all the things that I've done in this ol' life have been more fun Cause I shared them with someone who was a friend You've got to care about one another be a friend and be a brother Cause you're always gonna need someone that you can lean on You've got to help each other out that's what this life is all about Cause there ain't no way that you can make this journey alone Well I guess that I'm just lucky cause I've been there and back Yes I've seen life about every which way you can But as far as I'm concerned the greatest thing that a man can learn Is when you're down it's great to turn to a friend Well I guess that I'm just lucky cause I've been there and back... Turn to a friend
