| Well I’d never sleep with your ex-girlfriend
|
| Even if she starts to flirt with me again
|
| Allow me apologize for my slightly wicked thoughts;
|
| 'Cause that’s the kind of friend that you’ve got
|
| (Patterson Hood)
|
| If a fight breaks out and you’re the cause of it
|
| In some redneck bar where you’ve been talking shit
|
| I would not forsake you later in that parking lot
|
| 'cause that’s the kind of friend that you’ve got
|
| (Lowery and Hood)
|
| Well through the laughter and the tears
|
| We go stumbling through the years
|
| (Lowery)
|
| A bit dysfunctional well folks might say
|
| (Hood)
|
| Well I’ve got the dirt on you
|
| (Lowery)
|
| Hey, I’ve got plenty on you too
|
| (Lowery and Hood)
|
| So I pray we stay together all our days
|
| (Lowery)
|
| So when you’re on a date
|
| And you finally bring that girl home
|
| You put a little Captain Beefheart on the stereo
|
| And you disconnect the phone
|
| (Hood)
|
| Then I show up drunk and raving
|
| And then I pass out on the spot
|
| 'Cause that’s the kind of friend
|
| That you’ve got
|
| (Lowery)
|
| Well through the laughter and the tears
|
| (Lowery and Hood)
|
| We go stumbling through the years
|
| (Lowery)
|
| A bit dysfunctional well folks might say
|
| (Hood)
|
| You can say that again
|
| (Lowery and Hood)
|
| Well I’ve got the dirt on you
|
| (Lowery)
|
| Hey, I’ve got plenty on you too;
|
| (Lowery and Hood)
|
| So I pray we stay together all our days
|
| (Lowery)
|
| Oh dear lord
|
| (Lowery and Hood)
|
| Yeah I pray we stay together all our days |
