Friends like mine
Hiking up mountains and getting scars
Late night drives in our parents cars
Playing poker while nobody's home
That's stuff you can't do alone
It seems I just lost track of the time
Its easy to do with friends like mine
Pretty girls and hot campfires
Football fields and flippin' tires
I can't explain how much they meant
Even when we just needed to vent
In those days everything was fine
Especially if you've got friends like mine
Waking up late and cream cheese bagels
Dogs eating our crumbs under the tables
Sanctuaries like "WTP"
Wouldn't be the same if it were just me
Backyard woods full of pine
Were so much more with friends like mine
Hot summer days down at the pool
Moonlight skinny-dipping, boy, were we cool
I'd never forget those sodas we share
Axe spray and lighters burning our hair
We could do anything even some crime
You just can't catch friends like mine
Crayfish, minnows, bug we couldn't tell
We only got them down if we ignored the smell
Cherry coke and vanilla cigars
Sitting on the street with some guitars
Together we'd always wait in line
Its just an amusement park without friends like mine
No place to go, nowhere to be
Waiting for the bell to set us free
Never thought I'd miss this place
Just don't grow and forget my face
There was always enough time
For real cool friends like mine
Bargain Mart before Track
Asking the coach to cut us slack
Always finding pretty girls to mack
What I'd do to get that back
You just can't find
Friends like mine
These years I've had were some of the best
And I can't believe this is all we have left
It breaks my heart to watch you go
You've all been with me, High and low
I hope some day, dinner we'll dine
Its hard to let go, of friends like mine.
Dedicated to all the friends that got me through high school.
