A Friend You Can Count On

G D7 If you're hurting, well I am too G And if you're wondering what you're gonna do C Move over, have another beer G7 D G You won't be lonesome 'cause your friend is here D7 I've been thinking, but what's the use G 'Cause the songs we're singing hold a lot more truth C Joking, cussing and swapping lies G7 D G If it helps your head, well it sure helps mine D7 Sometimes the laughing hides a broken heart G Sometimes the singing shuts out the dark C But if none of that can ease your mind G7 D G A friend you can count on, works every time D7 You can go to the country and try to be free G You can go to the city or sail out to sea C But any place will let you down G7 D G If a friend you can count on, just ain't around
