lyrics

Josie's on the Buffalo Plains
Fell in love with taking his day in his hands
He couldn't stay, he's a roamin' man
In this town no more
With a world class tangle of under beard
Coffee brown eyes and a practiced sneer
He’ll hug you tight if you get too near
He's a good ol' friend of mine

He's a good ol' friend of mine
He left his life a little at a time
He's a good ol' friend of mine

Donald had some wild years
Whiskey in his eyes, tears in his beers
Woke up one day, looked in the mirror
To the stare of a stranger man
With a steady hand and a shaky voice
He gave up drinking, said he didn’t have a choice
Got married in a barn, had a couple of boys
He's a good ol' friend of mine

He's a good ol' friend of mine
He built his life one board at a time
He's a good ol' friend of mine

Annie probably knew I'd break her heart
I was sincere and crazy, from the start
We were thick and thin, drifted apart
Hanging up the telephone line
She’s got a laugh that hits you right in the chest
She's a spring born baby, Queen of the West
We’ve been through hell, you know the rest
She's a good ol' friend of mine

She's a good ol' friend of mine
We spent a couple years lost in the pines
She's a good ol' friend of mine

Oh, when it changes
In the middle of the night
Your friends have not left you
They’ve just taken flight
Taken flight
Taken flight
