Old Friend from Cabin Sessions by Lou Shields

“Old Friend”

Well old friend, I know ya, done lost your way
I can see trouble done come, on you today
Well old friend, it’s a cold life I say… Yes, old friend, good luck come one day

Well now we hit the road, first light of day
Yes that old steam train a blowin and sun shine on me
Well old friend, it’s a cold life I say… Yes, old friend, good luck come one day

Chorus - Left that town on the hard road got to find me a – better way 2x

Well well old friend its been a hard, broken road
Hard rollin’ a rambling and a miles on my soul
Yes old friend, it’s a cold life I say… Yes, old friend, good luck come one day

Well I, been to the East and I, been through the West
Raised in the North where ya know that cold wind blow through the rest
Well old friend, it’s a cold life I say… Yes, old friend, good luck come one day

Chorus - Left that town on the hard road got to find me a – better way 2x


Well Old friend, found you a place to stay
Made you a good livin and raised you a family
Well old friend, it’s a cold life I say… Yes, old friend, good luck come one day

Yes I’m still rollin’ along, late night I say
Yes that winter done come and cold wind blowin on me
Well old friend, it’s a cold life I say… Yes, old friend, good luck come one day

Chorus - Left that town on the hard road got to find me a – better way 2x

Well od friend I gonna, find a place to be
Rollin hills, tall trees and a good woman lovin’ on me
Well old friend, it’s a cold life I say… Yes, old friend, good luck come one day

Built me a little cabin home and cut me a walkin’ trail
Found me a fishin’ stream and dug me a water well
Well old friend, it’s a cold life I say… Yes, old friend, good luck come one day
