Lyrics Lynyrd Skynyrd

Lynyrd Skynyrd

When You Got Good Friends

You got to love ol' Charlie Daniels

You got to cut the rug with Wet Willie too

And you got to be a fan of the Marshall Tucker Band

Before I'll sit down and have a drink with you

Yes, Bakersfield has got ol' Merle Haggard

He's a bad, bad boy, yes indeed

Nashville's got a million and one guitar pickers

But I guess my favorite would be the CDB

Yes, there's a few good rockers in New York City

Guess the big LA, it never cared for me

So won't you tell all them Hollywierd, writer people

That it just don't make a damn, when you got good friends like me

Never pick on good ol' Waylon Jennings

Or Willie Nelson, Bob Wills or me

Well they're playin' that good ol' country western

You know this thing they call the Texas Swing

Yes, there's a few good rockers in New York City

Guess the big LA, it never cared for me

So won't you tell all them Hollywierd, writer people

That it just don't make a damn, when you got good friends like me
