This is a story of the life and times of the friends of mine Who stood by me, you stood by me Well I'm not a poet or a better friend of any kind But I must say for my poor penmanship this is my thanks Oh you gotta believe me when I say Oh you are the bone in back of me I never want to be something If that means I'm nothing to you I will always be yours Pick me up I'll be there, there for you This is a story of the endless drives and drunken dives Where the best of me, was in my sleep Oh you gotta believe me when I say Oh you are the bone in back of me I never want to be something If that means I'm nothing to you I will always be yours Pick me up I'll be there, there for you I never want to be something If that means I'm nothing to you I will always be yours Pick me up Nothing last forever I've got your back when your backs against the wall Nothing last forever I swear I'd fight and die for you I never want to be something If that means I'm nothing to you I will always be yours Pick me up I'll be there, there for you This is a story of the life and times of the friends of mine Who stood by me, you stood by me I'll be there, there for you
