Ole Pal

Ole buddy, ole pal I need to talk to you right now You're the only one who just might understand Ole buddy right now it seems the ground's too hard to plough And this ole mule I got is cussin' me again Ole buddy, ole pal, I been on this road a while And I can't see for me what's in it in the end Well I won't tell you no lies and you see tears are in my eyes It's 'cause I'm running with my face against the wind When it rains it pours like it never has before When the sun shines it burns me through my shirt The wind cuts like razors when I open up the door I got a brokеn heart, but I can't feel it hurt Ole buddy, ole pal, nothin's changеd in this old town The welcome sign still looks like it's about to fall I been helping out your Mom and I took Becky to the prom But don't you worry man, it ain't like that at all Coach Davidson got fired but if you ask him he retired And he wasn't takin' all those pills they had him on Wish I could tell you face-to-face They hired your dad to take his place And he's been runnin' us like dogs since you been gone And when it rains it pours like it never has before When the sun shines it burns me through my shirt The wind cuts like razors when I open up the door I got a broken heart but I can't feel it hurt Ole buddy, ole pal, we can't forget about you now They put your picture up down at the city hall Next to a flag and a plaque that said you never made it back And in a few words you're a hero to us all When it rains it pours like it never has before When the sun shines it burns me through my shirt The wind cuts like razors when I open up the door I got a broken heart but I can't feel it hurt Ole buddy, ole pal, I need to talk to you right now But I'll just drive by your old place again Ole buddy, ole pal, if I could call you up somehow I'd lie and tell you that I'm gettin' by Without my best friend
