My Old Drunk Friend My old drunk friend, it's good to see you again Every time you walk in I should run the other way My old drunk friend, you're lookin' kinda thin I won't ask where you've been, you never want to say I'll buy you a drink when I get into town And we'll go out walking 'till our boots are run down We'll walk through this town where all the alleys are haunted Though the streets are deserted we'll go screaming undaunted And you're laughing louder in my ear with every bottle of beer My old drunk friend, it's good to see you again Every time you walk in I should run the other way My old drunk friend, you're lookin' kinda thin I won't ask where you've been, you never want to say I should have moved to New York City, but I never was that kind I just languished in the Midwest like some old romantic fool And the streetlights shine down on the bottles we have broken 'Till the road is paved with diamonds from a thousand lost love tokens And my logic just seems more clear with every bottle of beer My old drunk friend, it's good to see you again Every time you walk in I should run the other way My old drunk friend, you're lookin' kinda thin I won't ask where you've been, you never want to say My old drunk friend, we watch the moonlight grow dim As the long night gives in to the dim light of day
