We drove through the slow rain
From Fort Worth to Houston
With no conversation

But we had a ball
Reminiscing's a thin line
Between heartache and good times

So we laughed and cried at them all

One after one the stories went on

Some sad and most of them true
When you're all alone so far away from home
Who do you turn to?


CHORUS
Friendly companion sing me a song

Show me a daydream so I can move on
Friendly companion I'll sing along
To all of your stories

Of ex-wives and knife fights
Bar rooms and bright lights
Ture love at first sight and how she's done you wrong

Sing me a honky-tonk song

Thank you Waylon for your company

Now hop in the back and wake up old Hank
He's ridin' shotgun with me


CHORUS
Friendly companion sing me a song
Show me a daydream so I can move on

Friendly companion I'll sing along
To all of your stories
Of ex-wives and knife fights

Bar rooms and bright lights
Ture love at first sight and how she's done you wrong
Sing me a honky-tonk song


About ex-wives and knife fights
Bar rooms and bright lights

Ture love at first sight and how she's done you wrong
Play me a honky-tonk song
