My old friend I'll see you again another day We can talk and laugh and drink the night away Like we did, my old friend When we were kids No, you did not have a home so you hung around And stay upon my lawn and we'd pretend That we were dead, when we were kids You grew up harder than I did You found the nightlife, you drug us both in And we raised cane like rasin' cane was goin' out 'Cause we never thought much about gettin' old anyway Now I'm findin' that I wish I could go back once again My old friend No, you never let me down as years went by You went on your way and I went mine Like the wind, my old friend You grew old faster than I did You know that nightlife will do you in And you raised cane until the cane was all burned out Now I hope for both our sakes that I grow old And I'm still findin' that I wish I could go back once again My old friend I'll see you again another day We can talk and laugh and bow our heads and pray Like we did, my old friend My old friend, my old friend My old friend
