I haven't picked up and dropped enough addictions To excuse my fickle soul My overactive, agitated mind lost the fight with my contentment Long ago If there's a god, god bless the boys who pull me up From the lows Praise Howlin' Wolf, Dylan Praise Little Feat and Morrison When my obsessions and deflections with the what could have been Drive me out of my mind When I'm pouring over pages and fixating on the endings that Good intentions can't re-write Well if theres a god, god bless the girls who always Shine a light Praise Etta James and Joplin Praise Holiday and Franklin Old friends, that bring a little healing Old friends, there when you need them Old friends Old friends When I'm distracted by the actions and decisions that I Didn't take along the way When the ghost of my regret haunts the high I can't forget Because my heart won't let it lay Well if there's a god, god bless the ones who always know What to say Praise Ben E King and Solomon Praise Joanie and Wilson Old friends, that bring a little healing Old friends, there when you need them Old friends, the kind you can believe in Old friends Old friends Old friends Old friends Old friends
