Austin Cunningham - My New Old Friend Lyrics

It was '76 an' we were flyin' high

We were writin' our names in the Texas sky

Kindred spirits underneath our cowboy hats

Free as the air, we were livin' large

Young and immortal we were in charge

Of the whole wide world, it was simple as that

It was ridin' them bulls and ropin' them calves

Winnin' just enough money to buy enough gas

To get us back home so we could do it all over again

It was pickin' and grinnin' around a campfire

Stretchin' our stories 'til we became liars

Without shame, that's how we lived back then

Chorus:

My new old friend

Come and sit awhile and tell me how you've been

It does my heart good to see you again

My new old friend

Well I think I might have a couple cold beers

And if you feel up to rollin' back the years

I'd love to hear 'bout the road you've walked down

As for me there've been rivers crossed

Bridges burned and good love lost

But few regrets I've had to crawl my way around

Hey've I've been there, I know what you mean

Things sure were simpler at seventeen

But did you ever think we'd ever live this long anyway?

Well here we are and I can already see

Someday, tonight'll be a memory

I'll be glad we shared 'til my dying day

Chorus

We sure made it through some crazy stuff

You want one more?

Naw, I've had enough

It's gettin' late and Barbara'll think you're lost

It's scary how fast the years have flown

But sittin' 'cross, from you I should've known

We'd be able to pick up right where we left off

Now I don't wanna get too weird or nothin'

But I sure have missed you and I've sure been wantin'

To try a little harder and maybe stay in touch

Chorus
