buy a whiskey for a friend
and just sit there ... and listen
don’t go preachin’ to that friend
that he don’t need that . that’s just an addiction
if he walked five miles just to ask you
... get him the whiskey
give some money to a friend
to pay the pusher... to pay his pusher
don’t say I am your dead end
you don’t want that ... you don’t really want that
if he ran five miles just to ask you
... find him the money
help him down.. help him down
... but don’t turn him away
buy a whiskey for a friend
my father told me.. before he died
... not long before he died
and just sit there ... and listen
don’t go preachin’ to that friend
that he don’t need that . that’s just an addiction
