Friends Don’t Let Friends Lyrics by Jake Owen

Loose Cannon

0

[Verse 1]
I was rollin' through town
Saw your truck up at the bar
Thought you's broke down
Workin' on a broke heart
Figured I'd stop in
See what was goin' on
'Cause friends don't let friends drink alone

[Verse 2]
Damn, I'm sorry 'bout your daddy
I hate to hear it's back
We can say a couple prayers
We can raise us up a glass
Let's burn a roll of quarters
On his favorite country songs
'Cause friends don't let friends drink alone

[Chorus]
I'll be barstool beside you
Like brothers for life do
Put a hurtin' on a bottle
'Til it hurts a little less
Hell naw, you don't owe me
You'd do the same for me
S'have one to remember
S'have one to forget
You ain't on your own
And I ain't goin' home
Friends don't let friends drink alone

[Verse 3]
If you wanna cuss or cry
Shit, I'm here for all of that
If you wanna start a fight
Man, you know I got your back
'Til my money runs out, or the neon's gone

[Chorus]
I'll be barstool beside you
Like brothers for life do
Put a hurtin' on a bottle
'Til it hurts a little less
Hell naw, you don't owe me
You'd do the same for me
S'have one to remember
S'have one to forget
How you ain't on your own
And I ain't goin' home
Friends don't let friends drink alone

[Bridge]
When you bleed, I bleed, man
We're thick as thieves, yeah
So come on, set 'em up, Joe

[Chorus]
I'll be barstool beside you
Like brothers for life do
Put a hurtin' on a bottle
'Til it hurts a little less
Hell naw, you don't owe me
You'd do the same for me
S'have one to remember
S'have one to forget
How you ain't on your own
And I ain't goin' home
Friends don't let friends
Friends don't let friends drink alone
Drink alone
