Best Friends of Mine

I guess Phoenix hard times and hard work helped shape the mold

We pushed an old Chrystler a hell of a lot further than we rode

I remember when our biggest dream

Was breakin' the bank on some pinball machine

Well ol' Jim hit the jackpot in Idaho Falls, Idaho

After all of this time, he's still a best friend of mine, one of a kind

In Missoula Montana out under that unending sky

There in a valley it would make any southern boy smile

With the stars and the bars and a breeze

Hank and his lady are takin' it easy

Deep in the west you might say colonial style

After all of this time, he's still a best friend of mine, one of a kind

He was a legend, I was a redneck and green

The first to believe, he took me under his wing

Now the edges are still pretty rough

But when I'm loggin' that guitar and struttin' my stuff

Old Buddy, old friend, you were the start of the dream

And after all of this time, he's still a best friend of mine, one of a kind

All laughin' and jokin' aside

I can honestly say and say it with pride

Somewhere, sometime in this life of mine

I must have done somethin' all right

Somewhere, sometime in this life of mine

I must have done somethin' all right
