My Friend - 5 Chinese Brothers

Found a dirt road beneath my feet 
Must have wandered off the main street 
When I was looking up instead of looking down 
I was enjoying the city sights 
Wanted to compare them with the northern lights 
I guess that's how I wound up way outside of town 
Now I'm wondering if I should go back 
Or search around for an unbeaten track 
I wish that you were here to show me how 
Oh my friend, oh my friend 
I'm wondering what you would do now 
'Cause I wasted my good looks 
Oh television and beer 
And cynical heroes with nothing to say 
Now I'm living in my second stage 
Between my youth and my middle age 
Hope when it's over I don't feel the same way 
Just because you've left the bad behind 
Doesn't guarantee what you'll find 
So I'm thinking of you to make me strong 
Oh my friend, oh my friend 
Am I going where I belong 
150 rum by the double shot 
Warmed up in an aluminum pot 
I'm trading my tomorrows for today 
Life's a gamble when you don't toe the line 
I want to let it ride every time 
Winning or losing, learning something along the way 
If this song sounds like a fan letter 
It's 'cause you just keep getting better 
I want to thank you for your high and lonesome sound 
Oh my friend, oh my friend 
Thank God there's still good friends around
