Lyrics

AN OLD FRIEND OF MINE

We were old drinking buddies
To tell you the truth
I was just a green kid
He was long in the tooth

We used to chase women
With whiskey and pills
He called the shots
And I paid the bills

Chorus:
Yeah, the devil's an old friend of mine
We've been to hell and back too many times
I love him and I hate him
He's never far from my mind
The devil's an old friend of mine

I walked away shaking
But I walked away
& I've trudged a long road
To where I am today

He calls now and then
Just to see how I've been
& I never talk long
When I know that it's him

Chorus

I've seen you out with him
Both dressed to kill
I remember that feeling
And I always will

You ain't asked for advice
And I've got none to give
The sermon I preach
Is the life that I live

Chorus
