I'm gonna call in a favor,
To an old friend,
That I haven't seen in years

I bet he thinks I need money,
I'm not that person anymore
I just want to bend his ear

Cause I believe, we're all here for a reason,
& I believe, if you're not careful you might miss it
& I believe, we're all caught up in stupid shit,
Like politics & crucifix, to be mean to other people

I finally found my friend,
& he told me he had a kid,
But the mom won't let him see her

I didn't ask him what he did,
Or how he caught the blame for it,
I just wanted to get home to my kids

Cause I believe, we're all here for a reason,
& I believe, if you're not careful you might miss it
& I believe, we're all caught up in stupid shit,
Like our social scenes, impossible dreams, to be mean to other people

It was hard to say good bye,
It was hard to say good bye,
It was hard to say good bye,
If he ever finds his way,
Then I think he'll be okay
