Friends Along The Way
words and music by Mary Karlzen

I’d swing you in the swing all day long
I’ll write you a poem I’ll sing you a song
I’ll do anything to get back to the day
we we’re driving along Singing a happy song you’d say
it used to be so easy The songs came flying out of me
and we were soaring straight to the top
nothing was gonna stop us Until they decided to drop us Off

pre: but now I see a ship sailing up on the blue horizon
cutting through the fog and the clouds of a brand new day

ch: hey hey I never got a chance to say
It’s okay it’s alright
For every time you could’nt make it and for every single night
You sat through some stupid song, you listened you even sang along
my friends along the way Friends along the way
we kept going from town to town Fewer people came around
the radio only let us down We couldn’t get any plays
cause clear channel owns the radio waves
then one day the phone won’t ring and I don’t care if I don’t sing
another note Hey no one’s listening
it took about a year Some friends and late night beers to find my way

br: then one day it comes along and you’re singing a brand new song
and I don’t care if there’s a single soul around
happy as I can be singing for my baby and me

ch: hey hey I never got a chance to say
it’s okay It’s okay

And I’m so stupid that I let our time I let it slip away
if I could get back one day at the Road
I’d take you in my arms and say
you were my friend along the way
friends along the way

in everything I sing I say I see your face everyday
in everything I sing I say I see your face everyday
friends along way
I met a lot of good, good people
I met a lot a good, good people
I never could say
