Old Friend - Loudon Wainwright III

Old friend dont you know its over?

Old friend can’t you understand?

Slap your back i can no longer

I can only shake your hand

It’s been so long, and things are so difrent

Memory lane’s a dead end street

Your presence tence is remenisen

I can’t rehash it, i won’t repeat

Your not so sure about tomorrow

You try to beg and steal and borrow

Yesterday sweet parting sorrow

You hold it over my head like a rusty aks

The good old days are good and gone now

Thats why they are good, because they are gone

But our conversation turns the cow tow

We kiss the pasts ass all night long

Old friend dont you know its over?

Old friend can’t you understand?

Slap your back i can no longer

I can only shake your hand
