Talkin' About My Buddy
My friend finally made a record and took to the road and played guitar He met this girl from Pennsylvania stuck by his side in love and war Fearful and fussy, but so faithful, poor and devoted, real and true She's not the type to be forsaken and I see much of her in you
While on a gig up in Toronto during a pause between his show He met this foxy German stallion who understood him head to toe She played it smart and learned his weakness and made him confess and yield into Her lustful whims became his fancy and I would fear the same from you
Then in the swank suburbs of Houston off in a mansion built of stone Escorted by this wealthy widow into her lounge and left alone Her maid announced that she was waiting for him to come and rendezvous Where he bestowed a long relation one like I hope to have with you
Then on the sands right off the ocean just as the sun sank in the sea So did my buddy slow and easy into a freak of fancy-free It was a group in automation getting together two by two Where people live and love one another, people who live like me and you
Then on the beach in warm Miami there was a teacher far from school Taught him the way to please a woman, made him concede the Golden Rule He learned to do it unto others as he used to just have them do So they began to come together as I will try to do with you
And there was one who was a virgin, never been touched by anyone She was as pure as any angel, in fact she's called to be a nun But it was all because my buddy just couldn't spoil a girl so true And so he left her as he found her, like I may have to do with you
The girl he's got now, he's never left her, she was the first I thought he'd shun Until I saw my buddy's eyes, when she came forth and bore his son Since then he's known no other woman, I think his ramblin' days are through They built a home up in the country, a life I'd love to build with you
Although you've never known my buddy and I am sure he don't know you But you know the life he's living and all of the changes he's been through Sweetheart, I'm talking about my buddy 'cause I don't want to wind up blue I could be happy with you only 'cause I see all of them in you
