High Friends in Places (All Over Town)

[Verse 1]
When you walked out the door
Well, I wasn't very far behind
I headed downtown all around
Looking up some new old friends of mine
You thought you'd leave me lonely
But honey, I've got some news
Misery loves company
And we're washing away my blues

[Chorus]
'Cause now I got high friends in places all over town
And they see, too, that missing you don't ever get me down
And if them memories can't swim, then I guess they're gonna drown
'Cause I got high friends in places all over town

[Verse 2]
Without my barroom buddies
I don't know what I'd do
Probably be sitting home all alone
Just feeling like a fool
While I keep the beer a'flowing
They keep you off my mind
And they'll be friends through thick and thin
At least until closing time

[Chorus]
'Cause now I got high friends in places all over town
And they make sure that missing her don't ever get me down
And if them memories can't swim, then I guess they're gonna drown
I'm glad I got high friends in places all over town

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
You thought you'd get the best of me
But honey, it just ain't true
I got some good connections
And they're gonna help me see this through
They don't ride around in limousines
Or tend them social balls
But they'll help me in my time of need
Right up to last call

[Chorus]
'Cause now I got high friends in places all over town
And they see, too, that missing you don't ever get me down
And if them memories can't swim, then I guess they're gonna drown
'Cause now I got high friends in places all over town

[Tag]
I'll buy another round
For my high friends in places all over town
