Lyrics
"Fair Weather Friends"
We used to be friends, we were ride or die
But now I see through all your lies
Are you still my friend, or is this the end?
all you ever want are favors and money to spend
Borrow this, take that, always got your hand out
But when I needed you, you were nowhere about
Everyone's my friend now, as long as I’m buyin'
But when the money's gone, im the only one cryin'
Fair weather friends, they come and they go
When the times get tough, they go where the winds blow
Cut them all loose, they act like they are dyin'
say their sorry, but im the only one tryin'
Users and losers, that's all you are
without me, none of you would have come this far
We used to be close, now you're just a ghost
You only come around when I’m playin' the host
Borrow this, take that, money abound
But when I needed you, you were nowhere around
Everyone's my friend now, but im the only one with skill
when the money's gone, im the only one footin' the bill
Fair weather friends, they come and they go
When the times get tough, they go where the winds blow
Cut them all loose, they act like they are dyin'
say their sorry, but im the only one tryin'
It's sad when it all ends, when the truth comes clear
The ones you thought were close, just disappear
They used me and abused me, now I'm free
My favorite liquor bottles always stick with me
Fair weather friends, they come and they go
When the times get tough, they don't want to know
Cut them all loose, I wont remember their names
Im done with all their endless games
Jack, Johnny, and Jim, my only friends to the end
In these bottles, I've found my truest friends
Fair weather friends, they're gone and im free
But these three, have always come through for me
im done with my old friends this is the end
one last drink with my true friends
