Hold an old friend's hand
Another year and I'm still here
The grass just will not grow on this old hill
Still I just can't let it go
I don't believe it's cause I'm cold
Or partial to the crazy life I'm caught in
Sometimes I fell the hand of time
Moving like its body was broke
And it's then I miss your sighs
And the tender words you spoke
Hey, that's okay
Come on around and get yourself together
Won't you come on around
And hold an old friend's hand
Babe, I promise not to throw you
You don't have to stay
I just want to hold you
Won't you come on around
And hold an old friend's hand
Another year is dead and gone
The sun don't want to shine on this old hill
Or anything that's mine
I don't believe it hurts to growEven when the crop you sow is a failure
Sometimes I wish I had no pride
I'd go off and sell my soul
But how do you say goodbye
To the only truth you've known
Hey, that's okay
Come on around and get yourself together
Won't you come on around
And hold an old friend's hand
Baby, baby
I promise not to throw you
You don't have to stay
I just want to hold you
Won't you come on around
And hold an old friend's hand
Oh babe, honey everybody makes mistakes
We feel a lot of life that way
Don't you think by now I know that?
Look what's brought us both back
Now while the leaves still dance on the wind
While the moon and the clouds come spinning
Will you whisper my name again?
Again and again and again
mama kin
It ain't easy
livin' like a gypsy
Tell your honey how I feel
I've been dreaming
Floating down the stream and
Losing touch with all that's real
Whole earth lover
Keeping undercover
Never know where you've been
You've been fading
Always out parading
Keep in touch with Mama Kin
Well you've always got your tail on the wag
Shooting fire from your mouth
Just like a dragon
You act like a perpetual drag
You better check it out
Because someday soon, you'll have to
Climb back on the wagon
It isn't easy living like you wanna
It's so hard to find peace of mind, yes, it is
The way I see it, you've got to say shit
But don't forget to drop me a line
Said, you're bald as an egg when you're eighteen
And working for your dad is just a drag
You still stuff your mouth with your dreams
You better check it out
Or someday soon you'll have to
Climb back on the wagon
Keep in touch with Mama Kin
Tell her where you've gone and been
Living out your fantasy
Sleeping late and smoking tea
Keep in touch with Mama Kin
Tell her where you've gone and been
Living out your fantasy
Sleeping late and smoking tea
It isn't easy living like you wanna
It's so hard to find peace of mind, yes, it is
The way I see it, you've got to say shit
But don't forget to drop me a line
Said, you're bald as an egg when you're eighteen
Working for your dad is just a drag
You still stuff your mouth with your dreams
You better check it out
Because someday soon you'll have to
Climb back on the wagon
Keeping up Mama Kin
Tell her where you've gone and been
Living out your fantasy
Sleeping late and smoking tea
Keep in touch with Mama Kin
I said I'll tell her where you've gone and been
Living out your fantasy
Sleeping late and smoking tea
