An Old Friend Of Mine

Today I did something
I never thought Id do
The choice, wasnt easy
But I had to
All the years together
All those cold lonely nights
I never thought Id be strong enough
To leave it all behind
Yeah, today I said goodbye
To an old friend of mine.

Well it wont be easy
But its never easy
When you let down
The one you love
Theres someone at home
Who needs me
So Im givin up
She always knew the truth
Never left my side
Man a love like that
Only comes once in a life
So today I said goodbye
To an old friend of mine

My hands were shakin
And my knees were weak
As I poured my last shot
And I drank my last drink.
And I heard Freedom ring
When that bottle hit the floor
And I just walked away
Not needing any more

Yeah, today I said goodbye
To an old friend of mine.

Yeah, today I said goodbye
To an old friend of mine.
