Old Friend

One, two, three, four

We all got troubles, we all got pain

Everybody's got their own versions of cocaine

Nobody's perfect like a thorn on a rose

I've got a closet full of skeletons underneath my clothes

Long overdue for confessing my confession

I'm the hypocrite poster-boy, perfected imperfection

Take your heart out on the highway

When you hit the road again

You're always treating every stranger

That you meet like an old friend

No, life doesn't have a rewind so don't live it with regret

And you better watch out where you flick your cigarette

So don't be starting fires unless you're getting cold

Mix it up with wine and music and a loved one to hold

I don't throw stones, don't want no one throwin' 'em back

So save yourself the trouble and go cut the world some slack

You take your heart out on the highway

When you hit the road again

You're always treating every stranger

That you meet like an old friend

Just like an old friend

We all got troubles, we all got pain

Everybody's got their own versions of cocaine

Left wing or right wing, it takes both wings for flight

Can't you hear the children singing?

Red and yellow, black and white

So stop your fightin', start unitin', sing along

I think we'd all agree we love a tom petty song

You take your heart out on the highway

When you hit the road again

You're always treating every stranger

That you meet like an old friend

You take your heart out on the highway

When you hit the road again

You're always treating every stranger

That you meet like an old friend

Just like an old friend (heart out on the highway)

Just like an old friend (heart out on the highway)

Treating every stranger (heart out on the highway)

Just like an old friend
