You're Gonna Need A Friend (Album Version)

by Robben Ford

Lyrics
Up with the sun
Out the front door
Down the street to the taxi stand
You're leaving another man
Your goodbyes done
So why say more
Soon enough he will understand
It ends the way it began

Looking for your next thrill
Looking for your next thrill
Come time to pay the bill
You're going to need a friend
To see you through the sadder days
When all the music ends
You start your game and no one plays
You'll turn around and then
You're going to need a friend

They say all is fair
In love and in war
One by one as they come to you
You'll break their hearts in two
Because you really don't care
Just looking for more
You use whatever comes to you
Your love is never true

Thinking that time's on your side
And nothing can break your stride
But come the end of the ride
You're going to need a friend
To see you through the sadder days
When all the music ends
You start your game and no one plays
You'll turn around and then
You're going to need a friend

When you catch cold
When you feel old
Soon enough there will come a day
When people just drift away
Bridges all burned
Lessons unlearned
No one left with you to play
Your colours have turned to grey

Looking for someone's hand
Looking for some place to land
When will you understand
You're going to need a friend
To see you through the sadder days
When all the music ends
You start your game and no one plays
You'll turn around and then
You're going to need a friend
