Lyrics
Mostly times were good, as I recall
The troubles we found were mostly small
The times were few,boys, when you made me mad
Still, you're the best
Yeah, you're the best
You're the best damned friends I ever had!
Life can be a chore ... can't tell you why
Many days we laugh, some days we cry
When we had the blues, boys, and we had 'em bad
You were the best
The very best!
You were the best damned friends I ever had
If you want a life that's easy, you have the past to pay
When you're looking for the future, now gets in the way
There are winners, there are losers, there's no one to blame
You can play the hand you're dealt, you can get on with the game
When the devil called, we walked on past
Didn't like the show, didn't like the cast
Some things we did, boys, surely mad me sad
Still, you're the best
Yeah, you're the best!
You're the best damned friends I ever had
If you want a life that's easy, you have the past to pay
When you're looking for the future, now gets in the way
There are winners, there are losers, there's good and there's bad
Still, you're the best damned friends I ever had ...
You're the best damned friends I ever had
