My Old Friend
(Artist: Tim McGraw)
Songwriters: Steve Mcewan/Craig Wiseman
My old friend, I recall
The times we had, hanging on my wall
I wouldn't trade them for gold
'Cause they laugh and they cry me
Somehow sanctify me
They're woven in the stories I have told,
and tell again
My old friend, I apologize
For the years that have passed
Since the last time you and I
Dusted off those memories
But the running and the races
And the people and the places
There was always somewhere else I had
to be
And time gets thin, my old friend

Will live on long after
All of the sadness and the trees

Goodbye
