Standard (EADGBE)

We were kneehigh to a cricket

when we first met

with a whole life of livin

on the road in front of us yet

We were Daniel Boone and Davy

when the Alamo fell

we were Lewis and Clark

exploring the Oregon trail

We were Cisco and Pancho

chasing the bandito

we were Frank and Jesse James

robbing banks and trains

Chorus

Yes we were buddies and pals

and commrads to the end

but most of all

we were best friends

well we hung up our buckskins

laid down our six shooters

went out and got us a couple 'lectric guitars

and we tried to sing like Elvis

we tried to play like Clapton

the best we could do

was a couple chords of Gloria

chorus...

well I went out to see him

a couple weeks ago

after oh so many years

lord where'd all of that time go

and we laughed about the old days

and sighed about the new ways

we wondered about Bobby and Lenny and Joe

then we said our good-byes

said again real soon

how many times have we sung the same tune

but there's one thing for certain

I'll never be hurtin'

cause right up to the end

I got me a best friend

Chorus

yes we are buddies and pals

and commrades to the end

and after all is said and done

he's still my best friend
