about

'The Better of My Friends' is a country flavored song that tells of harsh circumstances and the best friend who was really there for you.

lyrics

WHEN THEY CAME TO GET ME EVERYBODY KNEW
EVERYONE IN TOWN WHISPERED, WHAT IF IT’S TRUE
THEY SAID WHAT KIND OF PERSON ALLEGEDLY IS HE
BUT YOU KNEW ALL ALONG THE WHOLE TRUTH ABOUT ME

THEY QUESTIONED MY MOTIVES AND THEY QUESTIONED MY WAYS
THEY ASKED ME FOR REASONS AND TOLD ME I’D PAY
TORE ME TO PIECES AND LEFT ME IN SHREDS
BUT YOU STOOD BESIDE ME AND RAISED UP THE DEAD

AND YOU WERE THERE WHENEVER I COULDN’T BREATH ANYMORE
AND YOU WERE THERE WHEN I STOOD IN THE RAIN
YOU WERE THERE WHEN I STUMBLED AND FRAYED AT THE ENDS
AND I FOUND YOU WERE ALWAYS THE BETTER OF MY FRIENDS

THEY BROUGHT OUT THE PAST AND TOLD ME THEIR LIES
THEY BROUGHT UP THE SINS THAT GOD HAD CRUCIFIED
ACCUSED ME OF CRIMES TOLD MY TALE AROUND TOWN
BUT YOU BELIEVED NONE OF THE SO-CALLED THEY’D FOUND

THEY MESSED WITH MY MIND, TAMPERED WITH MY SOUL
PLAYED WITH THE TRUTH FOR THE SAKE OF CONTROL
PASSED OUT CIGARS CAUSE THEY KNEW I WOULD FALL
BUT YOU KNEW THE FACTS AND DEFENDED THEM ALL

AND YOU WERE THERE WHENEVER I COULDN’T BREATH ANYMORE
AND YOU WERE THERE WHEN I STOOD IN THE RAIN
YOU WERE THERE WHEN I STUMBLED AND FRAYED AT THE ENDS
AND I FOUND YOU WERE ALWAYS THE BETTER OF MY FRIENDS

WHEN THEY CAME TO GET ME EVERYBODY KNEW
EVERYONE IN TOWN WHISPERED, WHAT IF IT’S TRUE
THEY SAID WHAT KIND OF PERSON COULD HE POSSIBLY BE
BUT YOU KNEW ALL ALONG THE REAL TRUTH ABOUT ME

AND YOU WERE THERE WHEN THE FIRE WAS ABOUT TO BE LIT
AND YOU WERE THERE WHEN THE FLAMES WERE ON ME
YOU WERE THERE WHEN THAT DRAGON WAS BREATHIN’ AGAIN
AND I FOUND YOU WERE ALWAYS THE BETTER OF MY FRIENDS
