Lyrics Keith Whitley – My Old Friend

I used to get a lot of pleasure
From the bottle
Drinking seemed so good
To me back then

And he always gave me strength
And built my courage
And made me think I was
His closest friend
But darlin’ you saved me before
I reached the bottom of the bottle
And made me see this friendship
Had to end

I can’t believe that my old friend
Would turn on me
And drive me from my feet
Down to my knees
It’s attempted murder in
The first degree
I can’t believe my old friend
Would turn on me

Darlin’ you showed me that my
Old friend was wrong
Still it hurts me so
Cause I trusted him so long

I can’t believe that my old friend
Would turn on me
