A Friend Like You

Lyrics for A Friend Like You

Six hundred miles to go across New Mexico Might make the state line by dawn Cans and bottle tops piling up since our last stop You've been quiet all night long Close your eyes and you start cursing at the rain It's harder to leave sometimes than it is to stay And you said, you've been driving since Santa Fe We smoked our last joint yesterday A thousand things I want to say But a friend like you could be the end of me You rolled the window down Let the wind blow your hair around Ran your fingers through the air Stared into the orange sky Laid your hand over mine You said, I'm never going back there Close your eyes and you start talking in your sleep I know you've got secrets to keep You've been dreaming since Abilene Why the hell do you have to be so sweet? I want to say a thousand things But a friend like you could be the end of me You said you've got a friend in Colorado Springs You could get back on your feet Rocky Mountain skies I'm going to miss you the rest of my life Did we ever say goodbye? Close my eyes and I start speeding away It's harder to leave someone than it is to stay I've been driving since Santa Fe I smoked my last joint yesterday A thousand things I want to say I've been dreaming since Abilene Why the hell do you have to be so sweet I want to say a thousand things But a friend like you could be the end of me
