Now this old life ain't something
That you live all by yourself
There always comes a time
You need a friend
Sometimes this world gets so heavy
And the road can get so long
That you need someone
To lend a helping hand
Well, I learned life the hard way
I took all my knocks and lumps
But when I look back down the road
At where I've been
I can see that all the things I've done
In this old life have been more fun
Cause I shared them with someone
Who was a friend
You've got to care about one another
Be a friend and be a brother
Cause you're always gonna need someone
That you can lean on
You've got to help each other out
That's what this life is all about
Cause there ain't no way
That you can make this journey alone
Well, I guess that I'm just lucky
Cause I've been there and back
Yes, I've seen life about every
Which way you can
But as far as I'm concerned
The greatest thing that a man can learn
Is when you're down
It's great to turn to a friend
Well, I guess that I'm just lucky
Cause I've been there and back
Yes, I've seen life about every
Which way you can
But as far as I'm concerned
The greatest thing that a man can learn
Is when you're down
It's great to turn to a friend
Turn to a friend
