JOHN HIATT lyrics - My Old Friend

I thought we were gonna make that bridge, what did I know

Me and my expectations was always high

"Like a Rolling Stone" is playing on the radio

It made you cry

But we got by



[Chorus:]

My old friend

You make me feel young again

My old friend

You're just as pretty as you were back then



A Corvair with no floorboards, a Gibson Hummingbird

Driving south to the mouth of the riversong



Patchouli oil and motor oil

And you knew all the words

Now you're looking fine

In a hook-up line



[Chorus]



You've got kids, I've got kids

And they all want to know

Just what is what like when we were young



I tell them I'm no different now

Just late for the show

So grab your "Aqualung"

The loading has begun



[Chorus]



My old friend

My old friend

My old friend
