This old friend of mine
He gets silly over
Willy-nilly things sometimes

In this old friend of mine
He gets angry, downright angry
When he’s late for dinner time

And I’m the singer in a
Rubber band that’s
Pulling towards you then
Snapping back

So if you
Are feeling lonesome when I’m
In the room, it’s cause I’m
On the road playing shows
With an old friend of mine

And this old friend of mine
He gets jealous when I meet
Someone worth holding onto

In this old friend of mine
He thinks I’m better off
Being alone too

And I’m the singer in a
Rubber band that’s
Pulling towards you then
Snapping back

So if you
Are feeling lonesome when I’m
In the room, it’s cause I’m
On the road playing shows
With an old friend of mine

And I’m the singer in a
Rubber band that’s
Pulling towards you then
Snapping back

So if you
Are feeling lonesome when I’m
In the room, it’s cause I’m
On the road playing shows
With an old friend of mine
