My friend if I tell you one thing in my life, let it be this You have to stick by your family And know the difference from your friends and from your enemies You have to be strong and pay your dues You have to stand up for yourself, and never be used You need to know you're loved and I care Remember one thing I'll always be there Whoa my friend Times may change, it all may end Whoa my friend Look what we got - we're here again I don't need much, just my family and you Be there for me, and I'll be there for you And I promise you We'll fight our way out with our backs against the wall Not much is more important Than true friends in this life You may move on and go your own way But I'm telling you that's all right Because you know when I need you You're just a call away And I know you'll do the right thing And drop everything to be with me Whoa my friend You know what It's hard to even imagine Not having you guys around I don't need much just my family and you You're gonna be there for me, and me for you I'm gonna tell you how I feel once and for all We will fight with our backs against the wall Whoa my friend Times may change, it all may end Whoa my friend Look what we got - we're here again I don't need much, just my family and you You gotta be there for me, and me for you And I promise you We'll fight our way out with our backs against the wall Whoa my friend
