A Place For Friends

A-a-and the body becomes frail
The spirit becomes stronger
Because you have something to look forward to

I guess it's been a long time a comin' now
I've been waiting for the rain to wash you down
Prayin' for change, prayin' that God keeps you
Keeps you around

The doctor's been sayin' complications happen
Been sayin' we should probably slow it down
Been tellin' you everything's fine
Then tellin' everybody else that you're running out of time
Runnin' out of time

So I'll save my prayers for the graveyard there
Waiting for the day we meet again
And you can save us a place
Past them pearly white gates
A place for friends
Yeah, a place for friends

You can find us on a porch rememberin' the good times
And all the funny things you used to say
Speaking in rhymes from time to time
And then doin' your best to show us all the way
And then you went on your way

So I'll save my prayers for the graveyard there
Waiting for the day we meet again
And you can save us a place
Past them pearly white gates
A place for friends
Yeah

So I'll save my prayers for the graveyard there (ooh yeah)
Waiting for the day we meet again (ooh yeah)
And you can save us a place (oh)
Past them pearly white gates (yeah)
A place for friends (oh)
Yeah
A place for friends (ooh)
Yeah
A place for friends (ooh)
Yeah
A place for friends (ooh)
Yeah
