You've always been a friend of mine

And that's the way we'll be 'til the day I die
Bb F Fsus4 F C
Yeah, it's good to know you're on my side
Bb
'Cause now you know she's leaving me
F Bb C
And I need your help to make her see
Bb F Fsus4 F G
So turn on your charm and let it shine
'Cause you've always been the one

Who could make her stay around
So when she gets to the city limit sign

Don't let me down

F Bb C
And the long, long talks by the water's edge
Bb F Fsus4 F C
With her feet hangin' off the Cane Creek bridge
Bb
And bring to mind the first kiss we shared
F Bb C
At the old town square when she drives down there
Bb F Fsus4 F G
'Cause that's a day she said she could never forget
And keep the nights by the candlelight
Am F
As an ace in the hole
'Cause those are nights of passion
G A
That I know will bring her home
--Repeat Chorus
