Well we grew up together,

As friends, we weathered the storms,

That blew cross the plains 

 F    Bb      F 
From Ohio to Texas,

Everyone who met us helped,

Keep us dry from the rain,

  I saw you there,

You were standing behind me,

        Though we are so far away, 
C  Dm          C               F   C  Dm 
        And I wish you could steer me back,  
             G    G   C 
I'm off my tracks,

And now that I need ya,  
    C       Dm 
I'm open to see ya,  
      Bb     F         C 
Come ridin' back into town 

        Bb         F 
I can't do this myself, 
         C           Dm 
and I'm needing your help, 
      Bb           C           F 
I'm swimming, but soon I will drown,

So, where's my old friend now?
