Run your car off the side of the road Get stuck in a ditch way out in the middle of nowhere Or get yourself in a bind, lose the shirt off your back Need a floor, need a couch, need a bus fare This is where the rubber meets the road This is where the cream is gonna rise This is what you really didn't know This is where the truth don't lie You find out who your friends are Somebody's gonna drop everything Run out and crank up their car Hit the gas, get there fast Never stop to think, 'What's in it for me?' Or 'It's way too far' They just show on up with their big ol' heart You find out who your friends are And everybody wants to slap your back, wants to shake your hand When you're up on top of that mountain But then one of those rocks give way then you slide back down Look up and see who's around then This ain't where the road comes to an end This ain't where the band wagon stops This is just one of those times when A lotta folks jump off You find out who your friends are Somebody's gonna drop everything Run out and crank up their car Hit the gas, get there fast Never stop to think, 'What's in it for me?' Or 'It's way too far' They just show on up with that big ol' heart You find out who your friends are When the water's high When the weather's not so fair When the well runs dry Who's gonna be there? You find out who your friends are Somebody's gonna drop everything Run out and crank up their car Hit the gas, get there fast Never stop to think, 'What's in it for me?' Or 'It's way too far' They just show on up with their big ol' heart You find out who your friends are, yeah yeah You find out who your friends are Run your car off the side of the road Get stuck in a ditch way out in the middle of nowhere, man I been there Or get yourself in a bind, lose the shirt off your back Need a floor, need a couch, need a bus fare, man I been there Man I been there The above lyrics hit home tonight. Got a buddy of mine that I don't talk to as much as I should. Sometimes life just gets in the way. He called Sass today and asked what's goin' on and she mentioned that I've been tied up with doctor appointments as of late and so on. Got a text from him saying "call me tonight". Just got off the phone with him. He found out what's going on with me and he and his wife got on the phone to reassure me that everything will be ok and whatever they could do they would. I just thought that was cool and was compelled to post about how rare that is today. Now it ain't no big deal, I'm just going in for another scan to determine what the nero guy is gonna do to fix my neck and lower spine. But for my friend and his wife to take time out of their life to call and explain what to expect was kinda nice and not often found in this day and age. Personally I think they're worried they won't get their Uzi finished on time like I promised..
For you Tully and Sass! One of my most favorites of all time! Lets see who can guess this one! My faithful companion I've lost my way once again A prisoner of darkness I let you down my friend A heart left abandoned takes so long to heal its wounds Your touch not forgotten The end of the dream It comes too soon In this lonely room Till I leave this world Always know that I will surrender my heart to the sky Oh our love doesn't end here It lives forever on the wings of time The road that I travel Don't know which way I should turn Till I find the answer Know that the fire within me will always burn Angel of mercy, please Why so much pain? I cry for forgiveness I'm the destitute man Who still remains It's so hard to explain Till I leave this world Always know that I will surrender my heart to the sky Oh our love doesn't end here It lives forever on the wings of time Sometimes I feel just like crying I can't turn my back All these years I've been trying A vision of you keeps reappearing to me You can't blame yourself Just reach out your hand and believe We sail in dark waters Lord give me some peace of mind Temptation before me Ahead lies the tower of truth that I must find To you I will climb Till I leave this cruel world far behind Always know that I will surrender my heart to the sky Oh our love doesn't end here It lives forever on the wings of time
