I was on the road ,playing in a strange town ..and I ran into my best friend from high school...We sat up all night smokin' & drihkin' and talking about old times....The next day I wrote this song....

Lyrics
There's nothin' like an old friend, to take away your blues....Nothin' like an old friend to make you feel real loose...So when you're feelin' down and low, just pick up the telephone....And call up an old friend just to say hello, hello, hello....Nothin' like an old friend to take away your blues...Nothin' like an old friend to make you feel real loose...When you're in a strange town and you ain't got nothin' to do...Oh, No, You look out your window and there goes someone you once knew...Oh, Yeah, Yeah..You ask um up for a drink, maybe have a little smoke, Um,Um,Um... And talk about the old times and they can tell you all their favorite jokes....There's nothin' like an old friend, No,No, No, Nothin' like an old friend, nothin' like an old friend, to take away your blues......
