lyrics
Got a friend who talks to Jesus
Got a friend who talks to God
Got a friend who likes cats
and a friend who just likes dogs.
Got a friend who shops at Macy’s
and a friend who likes to sew.
Got a friend who blames the government
and a friend that just don’t know.
I ain’t talkin’ ‘bout the left,
ain’t talkin’ ‘bout the right
Ain’t talkin’ red, black, brown, or white.
Just talkin’ ‘bout people, good people, my friends.
Got a friend who’s got a trust fund
Got a friend who’s always broke
Got a friend who’s taking Zanax
and a friend who just smokes dope.
Got a friend raisin’ a family
and a friend who’s twice divorced
Got a friend who blames the lawyers
and a friend who blames the courts.
I ain’t talkin’ ‘bout the left,
ain’t talkin’ ‘bout the right
Ain’t talkin’ red, black, brown, or white.
Just talkin’ ‘bout people, good people, my friends.
Me and my friends, yeah, me and my friends
Just sittin’ on a fence, yeah, that’s me and my friends
The grass is sometimes greener and the sky’s not always blue
Spinning ‘round on common ground in someone else’s shoes.
Me and my friends, yeah, me and my friends
Can I get an “Amen” for me and my friends
Can’t squeeze a soul through a pigeonhole
Let the light come from within
I’m talkin’ ‘bout people, good people, my friends.
