My Only Friend - Slim Cessna's Auto Club

Sittin' by myself

With a song in my head

I guess it’s pretty late

I should tuck myself in bed

And I wish that when I fall asleep

I pray the Lord my soul to keep

And dream that I’m at home

Wrapped in the arms of my best friend

I been gettin' drunk

I’m just trying to pass the time

I’m out of cigarettes

And I drank up all the wine

I’d shake the Devil from my mind

But the Devil’s never been so kind

And dream that I’m at home again

Wrapped in the arms of my best friend

I could hold her tonight

Make my dreams come true

I could hold her so tight

The way we used to do

Am I sleeping?

Or are my eyes just closed?

Can she hear me?

My God only knows

I could hold her tonight

And make my dreams come true

I could hold her so tight

The way we used to do

I could hold her tonight

And make my sorrows end

I could hold her so tight

She’s my only friend
