This track is a testament to the power of friendship and resilience in the face of heartbreak. The protagonist, having recently experienced a breakup, finds solace not in solitude but in camaraderie. He leans on his friends for support and uses their presence as a distraction from his pain. The song also employs clever wordplay, personifying bottles of whiskey (Willie & Jack) as friends, emphasizing the use of alcohol as a coping mechanism. Despite the underlying theme of heartbreak, the tone remains defiant and optimistic, portraying an individual who refuses to be defeated by emotional hardship. It's a celebration of resilience, companionship, and the healing power of time spent with good friends. #Resilience #Friendship #Heartbreak
Friends Like That
Lyrics
The sun's gone down since you got gone
I bet you think I'm still sitting here alone
All tore up like a whiskey label
Starin' at the key that you left on the table
Hate to tell you, baby, but you got it wrong
Nah, I ain't missing you like crazy
I'm keepin' better company lately
I'm doing alright for the shape I'm in
Sitting by a fire with some damn good friends
Willie on my left, Jack on my right
Blowin' that smoke on a Friday night
Waylon turned up on the JBL
Girl, you probably think I'm going through hell
But I don't care, if you never come back
'Cause who needs you when I got friends like that
About this time you and I'd be tangled up
Yeah, but that's alright this fire's been keeping me warm enough
Holding onto you, girl, who needs that?
I got a white knuckle grip on a whiskey glass
When it gets down to ice I just fill it back up
On my own, girl, I might lose it
But I got buds to get me through it
I'm doing alright for the shape I'm in
Sitting by a fire with some damn good friends
Willie on my left, Jack on my right
Blowin' that smoke on a Friday night
Waylon turned up on the JBL
Girl, you probably think I'm going through hell
But I don't care, if you never come back
'Cause who needs you when I got friends like that
Yeah, I got friends like that
Mm, yeah
Telling me I don't need you no more (telling me I don't need you no more )
This kinda thing is what friends are for (this kinda thing is what friends are for)
Willie on my left, Jack in my right
And blowin' that smoke on a Friday night
I'm doing alright for the shape I'm in
Sitting by a fire with some damn good friends
Willie on my left, Jack on my right
Blowin' that smoke on a Friday night
Waylon turned up on the JBL
Girl, you probably think I'm going through hell
But I don't care, if you never come back
'Cause who needs you when I got friends like that
(Telling me I don't need you no more )
Yeah, girl, I got friends like that
(This kinda thing is what friends are for)
Yeah, I got friends like that
