BEST OF FRIENDS

RUNNIN’ DOWN THE ROAD EACH MORNIN’

THAT LED TO SCHOOL AND A YOUNG BOY’S DAWNIN’.

PRETTY GIRL WITH DEEP BLUE EYES,

YOU PUT MY HEART IN PARADISE.

BEST OF FRIENDS.  OH WE WERE BEST OF FRIENDS.

PEACHES LANDED ON THE GROUND,

WHEN WE SHOOK THAT TREE AND DANCED AROUND.

LAUGHIN’ AS WE ROLLED AND TUMBLED,

BRAGGED ABOUT WHAT LIFE WOULD COME TO.

BEST OF FRIENDS.  OH WE WERE BEST OF FRIENDS.

BEST OF FRIENDS.  OH WE WERE BEST OF FRIENDS.

SITTIN’ IN MY FATHER’S CAR,

PARKED ALONE BENEATH THE STARS.

OFFERING THE INNOCENCE OF YOUTH.

SEEING LIFE THROUGH OLDER EYES,

LEAVING CHILDREN’S DREAMS SO FAR BEHIND,

FAR BEHIND.

SHE LEFT ONE LATE JULY,

HER TEARY EYES BID ME GOODBYE.

HER FAMILY MOVED TO A NAVY POST,

IN A FOREIGN TOWN ON AN ISLAND COAST.

BEST OF FRIENDS.  OH WE WERE BEST OF FRIENDS.

BEST OF FRIENDS.  OH WE WERE BEST OF FRIENDS.
