Old Friend Lyrics

by Aaron Watson

[Intro]
One, two, three, four
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e123653-aaron_watson~old_friend_lyrics.html ]
[Verse 1]
We all got troubles, we all got pain
Everybody's got their own versions of cocaine
Nobody's perfect like a thorn on a rose
I've got a closet full of skeletons underneath my clothes
Long overdue for confessing my confession
I'm the hypocrite poster-boy, perfected imperfection

[Chorus]
Take your heart out on the highway
When you hit the road again
You're always treating every stranger
That you meet like an old friend

[Verse 2]
No, life doesn't have a rewind so don't live it with regret
And you better watch out where you flick your cigarette
So don't be starting fires unless you're getting cold
Mix it up with wine and music and a loved one to hold
I don't throw stones, don't want no one throwin' 'em back
So save yourself the trouble and go cut the world some slack

[Chorus]
You take your heart out on the highway
When you hit the road again
You're always treating every stranger
That you meet like an old friend
Just like an old friend

[Bridge]
We all got troubles, we all got pain
Everybody's got their own versions of cocaine
Left wing or right wing, it takes both wings for flight
Can't you hear the children singing?
Red and yellow, black and white
So stop your fightin', start unitin', sing along
I think we'd all agree we love a Tom Petty song

[Chorus]
You take your heart out on the highway
When you hit the road again
You're always treating every stranger
That you meet like an old friend
You take your heart out on the highway
When you hit the road again
You're always treating every stranger
That you meet like an old friend

[Outro]
Just like an old friend (Heart out on the highway)
Just like an old friend (Heart out on the highway)
Treating every stranger (Heart out on the highway)
Just like an old friend
