For as long as I have known you
You've been coming to my rescue
And I'm always here to catch you
Every time you fall
After all that we have been through
Guess what it all comes down to
Is knowing I can call you
When my back's against the wall
Old friend
Old friend
You keep on believing
Some day we'll come out even
Even if we lose again
Old Friend
Old Friend
God knows where we're going
I guess half the fun's not knowing where we'll wind up in the end
We end up in trouble
Every time we get together
People say we should know better
But I hope we never do
We can't live forever
It's here and now or never
You know one way or another we will always make it through
Old friend
Old friend
You keep on believing
Some day we'll come out even
Even if we lose again
Old Friend
Old Friend
God knows where we're going
I guess half the fun's not knowing where we'll wind up in the end
Old Friend
God knows where we're going
I guess half the fun's not knowing where we'll wind up in the end
