about

Recorded in 2006. I don't remember anything about how this song was recorded. I even had to listen to it to write the lyrics down.

lyrics

I used to think that I was fine
Living alone didn't need anybody
I always thought, what's the point
Of sharing my feeling with anyone else

I used to think that I was cool
Solving my problems with nobody's help
I always thought I had the cure
And it didn't involve anyone else

Chorus:
Thanks for being my friend
It's nice to have someone to talk too
I know I do lots of stupid stuff
But the fact is I need you
I'm no good alone

Life has thrown it's left and right
I've made it this far and I'm not giving up
I have my friend's that stand beside me
They make this life just a little less tough

Chorus:

Life has had it's ups and downs
The times I remember are being with you
It's nice to have someone I can count on
When I want to relax, kick back, and have fun

Chorus:

One Go Around
by Jeffrey Martin

supported by 4 fans who also own “Thanks For Being My Friend”

Title track was the first I'd ever heard of Jeff's work and it struck me like a ten-ton hammer. Was a perfect fit for the small-town college I was attending at the time, not far from train tracks itself. Every time I hear this, I can see the amber light of the street lamps and think about a few walks I made around campus in the dead of night. Still haven't grabbed hold of the life I've been given as firmly as I ought to, but this song soothes my regret...and the chorus reminds me.... moonandstar8765
