Friends Don’t Let Friends Lyrics by Lady A

What a Song Can Do

2021

[Intro: Darius Rucker & (Lady A)]
Alright
(Ooh-ooh)

[Verse 1: Charles Kelly, Thomas Rhett, Thomas Rhett & Hillary Scott]
I got a buddy livin' out in Jacksonville
In love with a woman with looks to kill
He called me outta the blue just the other night
Yeah, he was gonna put a diamond on her hand
Then he caught her runnin' 'round with another man
So I booked me a ticket for the early A.M. flight
That's right

[Chorus: All, (Charles Kelly)]
You know friends don't let friends drink alone
Gotta have a little help to get that memory gone
If you're gonna make a bad decision
You shouldn't make it on your own
Yeah, friends don't let friends drink alone
(No, they don't)

[Verse 2: Darius Rucker, Carly Pearce, Both, (Charles Kelly)]
Well, I got anothеr buddy in Birmingham
Got cut loose by the old bossman
Said he's out thе door, headed for the neon lights
Oh, he's gonna need someone to pick up the tab
Talk it out, maybe split a cab
Tell 'em everything's gonna be right
(Yeah, that's right)

[Chorus: All, (Carly Pearce), (Darius Rucker)]
You know friends don't let friends drink alone
Ain't gonna let 'em sit around and listen to them old sad songs (Them old sad songs)
If you're gonna make a bad decision
You shouldn't make it on your own
No, friends don't let friends drink alone
(No, they don't)

[Interlude: Charles Kelly & Darius Rucker]
Hey, Darius
If you're going to the bar, will you get me one more?
I got you, brother
Oh, yeah
Hey, listen

[Bridge: Charles Kelly, (Carly Pearce), Thomas Rhett, (Hilary Scott), Darius Rucker]
If you need a wingman
(If you need a wingman)
I can hold a cold can
(I can hold a cold can)
Yeah, I'll pick up the phone, man
Won't leave you hangin' out to dry
Buddy, I can split a twelve-pack
(You know, that's right)
I won't leave you by yourself, Jack
(No, sir)
(You know I got your back)
And I know you got mine, yeah (Woo)

[Chorus: All]
You know friends don't let friends drink alone
It takes a couple good old boys to tie one home
Oh, if you're gonna make a bad decision
You shouldn't make it on your own
No, friends don't let friends drink alone
Friends don't let friends (Friends, friends) drink alone

[Outro: All]
Woo
No, they don't
Oh, no, they don't (No, they don't)
You know they don't
Don't let friends drink alone
Drink alone
Dial my number, buddy, I'll pick up
I'll come help you catch that bus
'Cause friends don't let friends drink alone
Save that empty stool for me (For me)
I'll come runnin' in one, two, three (One, two, three)
'Cause friends don't let friends drink alone
