Fickle Friends Lyrics

You look at life through blood shot eyes

The whiskey barely touched the sides

Those fickle friends, they've left you all alone

Landlord shouts, gentlemen please

You wipe a tear on your sleeve

Those fickle friends, they've left you all alone

A stranger smiles across the bar

Her bed she says, is not that far

Pockets empty, it's a long walk home

The sex you share brings short relief

She comforts you through to sleep

Those fickle friends, they've left you all alone

The morning broke with coffee woke

You start to think your life's a joke

Those fickle friends, they've left you all alone

But the bright new sun lightens her bed

You share the thoughts inside your head

She smiles at you and says it's time to go

You wander home in the blackest hell

Your head's all gone, no one to tell

Those fickle friends, they've left you all alone

You make your way to somewhere warm

Pop some pills to quell the storm

And those fickle friends, they find you all alone

Crocodile tears they will cry, they never meant for you to die

Those fickle friends, you've left them all alone

You see my son, this song I wrote

Choose your friends and hold them close

Love your wife and children most

And those fickle friends won't come into your home
