“Best Damn Friend” is song 8 from the album “Grinning Streak” (2013).
It tells of a man who has somehow hurt a close friend, is asking for forgiveness, and pledging to repair the relationship and “be the best damn friend again”.
Talk was cheap
Until I started talking to professionals
Not my first leap
This atheist could have used confessional
Sown, so reap
Allow me to lead you in devotional
While you weep
Imagine a man who's more emotional
Then we'll go
[Chorus]
I'll be your hero
I'll be your man
I'll be your best damn friend 'till the end
From 60 to zero
Get up and then
I'll be your best damn friend again
Actions speak louder, but only when they're spoken to
It's not weak to remake amends the way I've chosen to
Hide and seek
Somewhere ahead we'll find a way to trust
It may look bleak
So I'll just imagine for the both of us
And we'll go
[Chorus]
I'll be your hero
I'll be your man
I'll be your best damn friend 'till the end
From 60 to zero
Never again
I'll be your best damn friend
And when I am your hero
I'll be your man
I'll be your best damn friend 'til the end
From 60 to zero
Never again
I'll be your best damn friend
60 to zero
I'll be your best damn friend
60 to zero
Never again
