True Friends

We've all had plenty of friends in air quotes Who hang with you only to borrow banknotes No they have no guilt in their transparency But ask them the same and just watch them flee Then there's some friends out there on Facebook Who beg you to like them and give them a look They tweet, pose, and post, seeking out fame Their online personas just have no shame So here's to true friends I know who you are You'd drop what you're doin' and come from afar You say what you mean and do what you say And I can count on you at the end of the day Now I've been accused of being maudlin Buy me a drink and I'll treat ya like kin But if you break a promise, too little too late It's gonna be hard for me not to berate You might try to pull the wool over my eyes Thinkin' that you've got the best of this guy I might even let you get away with it once But trick me a second time then I'm the dunce So here's to true friends I know who you are You'd drop what you're doin' and come from afar You say what you mean and do what you say And I can count on you at the end of the day So through the days I've just whittled it down That short list of folks whom I can count on For them I would give the shirt off my back And I trust they won't mention my absent six pack So here's to true friends, I know who you are You'd drop what you're doin' and come from afar You say what you mean and do what you say And I can count on you at the end of the day You say what you mean and do what you say And I can count on you 'til the end of my days
