"Hold An Old Friend's Hand"

Another year and I'm still here
The grass just will not grow on this old hill
But I just can't let it go
Don't believe it's 'cause I'm cold
Or partial to the crazy life I'm caught in
But sometimes I feel the hand of time
Moving like its body was broken
It's then I miss your sighs
And the tender words you've spoken

Hey that's ok
You just get yourself together
And come on around a and hold an old friends hand

Babe I promise not to throw you
And you don't have to stay
I just want to hold you
Won't you come on around and
Hold an old friends hand
Another year is dead and gone
The sun don't want to shine on this old hill
Or anything thats mine
I don't believe it hurts to grow
Even when the crop you sew is failure
Sometimes I wish I had no pride
I'd go off and sell my soul
But how do you say good bye to the only truth you've known

Hey that's ok
You just get yourself together
And come on around a and hold an old friends hand
