lyrics

Good friend of mine
Good friend of mine

I 240 highway go something like 95
The devil sat beside me
And I got murder on my mind
I shot that man in Vegas
Didn’t stick around to watch him die
I couldn’t see the use it wasting more of my precious time

Heaven don’t make me smile
I’ve been sitting with the best of them,
Since you’s a baby child
And all my life
The devil’s been a very good friend of mine

Good friend of mine
Good friend of mine

People always told me I was trouble as a child
Scrapes on my knees a rat’s nest in my hair and I’m running wild
My momma tried to hold me
She put locks on all the doors
But if she’d ever known me she’d have chained me to the floor

Heaven don’t make me smile
I’ve been sitting with the best of them,
Since you’s a baby child
And all my life
The devil’s been a very good friend of mine

Good friend of mine
Good friend of mine

You can’t make never make me like to see you make me go
They won’t let me never let me ever gonna let me in I know
You can’t make never make me like to see you make me go
They won’t let me never let me ever gonna let me in I know
You can’t make never make me like to see you make me go
They won’t let me never let me ever gonna let me in to

Heaven don’t make me smile
I’ve been sitting with the best of them,
Since you’s a baby child
And all my life
The devil’s been a very good friend of mine

Good friend of mine
Good friend of mine

All my life
The devil’s been a good friend of mine
