Lyrics
BEST FRIEND
TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IN AN OLD CHEVY TRUCK
RUNNIN' OUT OF GAS, RUNNIN' OUT OF LUCK
ONE HEADLIGHT, TWO BALD TIRES
MUFFLER HANGIN' BY AN OLD RUSTY WIRE
HEADIN' INTO THE SUN, GOT THE VISOR PULLED DOWN
DUST ROLLIN' OFF THE WHEELS AS I'M LEAVIN' THIS TOWN
LIFE'S GETTIN' TOO COMPLICATED
LEAVE IT BEHIND, FOR TOO LONG I'VE BEEN WAITING
LOOKING FOR SUNSHINE
LOOKING FOR A NEW BEST FRIEND
LOOKING FOR A NEW LIFE
YOU NEVER KNOW WHERE THE ROAD MIGHT LEAVE YOU
YOU NEVER KNOW WHERE THE ROAD MAY LEAD YOU
TO A PLACE YOU'VE NEVER BEEN
TO A NEW LOVE OR A NEW FRIEND
ENGINE'S OVER HEATIN', BETTER LET IT COOL DOWN
PULLIN' OFF THE INTERSTATE INTO A NEW TOWN
THERE SHE WAS, IN A CORNER BOOTH
IN A RESTRAURANT I JUST WALKED IN TO
LOOKING FOR SUNSHINE
LOOKING FOR A NEW BEST FRIEND
LOOKING FOR A NEW LIFE
TWO CUPS OF COFFEE FOR TWO DOLLARS
WE MUST HAVE TALKED FOR AT LEAST TWO HOURS
SAID SHE WAS TIRED OF THE SAME OLD SAME
SHE ASKED IF I WAS GOING HER WAY
TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IN AN OLD CHEVY TRUCK
GOT A TANK FULL OF GAS AND A NEW CHANGE OF LUCK
THE ROAD CAN OPEN DOORS
TO SOMEONE YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR
LOOKING FOR SUNSHINE
LOOKING FOR A NEW BEST FRIEND
LOOKING FOR A NEW LIFE
LOOKING FOR SUNSHINE
WITH MY NEW BEST FRIEND
AND A NEW LIFE
