MY OLD FRIEND

(D. Vincent Williams/Steve Wariner)

Between an endless quest to make it

And a growing lack of patience

I made some sudden changes

And overbooked my life

Gave my heart and strength to labor

My soul and dreams to favors

Til I became a stranger

I didn’t recognize

In the window of a coffee shop on market street

I caught my reflection looking back at me

CHORUS:

Where have you been my old friend

There I am sure nice to see myself again

That boy who spent days fishing

And pocket change on wishes

Heaven knows I miss him

And his outlook on life

It was always easy does it

Didn’t want for nothing

But a few good friends and lovin’

From that girl I let get by

Looking thru the window of my memory

I see my reflection looking back at me

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE

Choices are the steps we take

But changing is our choice to make

So I think I’ll just change some things right now

Me and my old pal

REPEAT CHORUS
