Good Friend, Good Faith

Lyrics

Verse 1
You held the door when the whole room closed
Kept my name clean when the story got told
No long speech, just a hand on my shoulder
Cold late bus, you gave me your coat
You knew the parts I was scared to show
Never turned those into things you could own
When the easy road split and the plans went thin
You stayed right there, let the hard days in

Pre-Chorus
We don't need to count what we gave
You were there, and I did the same
If the ground gives way beneath our feet
I know who I can call, who'll answer me

Chorus
Good friend, good faith, that's a bond you can't buy
You keep your word when the whole world changes sides
No borrowed shine, no deal to make
Just trust that holds when the pressure gets great
Good friend, good faith, when the road runs long
You bring me back when I forget I'm strong
I got your back, you got mine, that's true
A steady kind of love that carries us through

Verse 2
You saw the small wins before they showed
Stayed for the cleanup after the toast
Told me the truth when I needed it plain
Never made a joke out of somebody's pain
We made our own rules, kept our circle small
Shared what we had, split the last meal in half
If I get ahead, there's a place for you
If you lose your way, I'll come looking too

Pre-Chorus
We don't need to count what we gave
You were there, and I did the same
If the ground gives way beneath our feet
I know who I can call, who'll answer me

Chorus
Good friend, good faith, that's a bond you can't buy
You keep your word when the whole world changes sides
No borrowed shine, no deal to make
Just trust that holds when the pressure gets great
Good friend, good faith, when the road runs long
You bring me back when I forget I'm strong
I got your back, you got mine, that's true
A steady kind of love that carries us through

Bridge
Years may turn, and the miles may grow
Still one call, and you already know
No score to settle, no debt to repay
I stand with you the same way you stayed

Final Chorus
Good friend, good faith, that's a bond you can't buy
You keep your word when the whole world changes sides
No borrowed shine, no deal to make
Just trust that holds when the pressure gets great
Good friend, good faith, when the road runs long
You bring me back when I forget I'm strong
I got your back, you got mine, that's true
A steady kind of love that carries us through

Outro
I got your back, you got mine
Good friend, good faith, for all our lives
