True Friends - Charlie Park

Here's a little thing about Mag and Stan hauling down

The road in the winter time

Riding on their thumbs but walking most of the way

Stan used to hop trains but Mag's afraid

So they get their traveling done another way

Just wanna get down south to where it's warm

True friends true friends are hard to find

True friends true friends are hard to find

To get one you gotta be one

And then they'll always be around

An old guy stops in a beat-up ford

And asks how far did they wanna go

Stan says we're going all the way to the end

This old guy he's lost his wife

And lost his grip on the rest of his life

Just drives around now listening to the radio

True friends true friends are hard to find

True friends true friends are hard to find

To get one you gotta be one

And then they'll always be around

Now it's 4 days on the road in that rusty ride

And 3 nights sleeping out on the side

Eating roadstand fruit coffee and refried beans

When they reach the gulf they all lay

On the beach and soak up the sun and get used to the heat

Talkin' about how cold it is up in I Falls

True friends true friends are hard to find

True friends true friends are hard to find

To get one you gotta be one

And then they'll always be around

There ain't no end to their family

Their web covers the whole country

Maybe it ain't true that we have to be alone

Maybe they'll just drive around pickin' folks up

Being yr friend when yr down on yr luck

Maybe there's a car big enough for us all

And true friends true friends are hard to find

True friends true friends are hard to find

To get one you gotta be one

And then they'll always be around

True friends true friends are hard to find

True friends true friends are hard to find

To get one you gotta be one

And then they'll always be around
