Lyrics

Run your car y off the side of the road, get to (Em7)stuck in a ditch way you’re (G)out in the mid dle of (D)no where.

Get your self in a bind, lose the shirt off your (Em7)back, back down, need a (G)floor, need a couch, need a (D)bus fare.

Well, this is where the (Em7)rub ber meets the road, this is where the (A)cream is gon na rise.

This is what you (Em7)real ly did n’t know.

This is where the (A)truth don’t lie.

You find out who your friends are.

Some bod y’s gon na drop (G)ev ’ry thing, run out and crank up (D)their car,

(A)hit the gas, get there fast, nev er (A)stop to think what’s (Bm)in it for me

or it’s (D)way too far.

They just (G)show on up

with their big old heart.

You find out who your friends are.

Ev ’ry bod y wants to slap your the back, wants to (Em7)shake your a hand when you’re (G)up on the top of that (D)moun tain.

But let one of those rocks give the way, then you (Em7)slide back down, look a (G)up and a see who’s a (D)round then.

Well, This ain’t where the (Em7)road comes to an end, this ain’t where the (A)band is wag on stops.

This is just you (Em7)one of those times when This a lot of (A)folks jump off.

You find out who your friends are.

Some bod y’s gon na drop (G)ev ’ry thing, run out and crank up (D)their car, (A)hit the gas, get there fast, nev er (A)stop to think what’s (Bm)in it for me

or it’s (D)way too far.

They just (G)show on up

with their big old heart.

You find out who your friends are.

old heart.

You (A)find out who your friends are.

When the (G)wa ter’s high,

when the (D)weath er’s not so fair,

when the (A)well runs dry,

who’s gon na (A7)be there?

You find out who your friends old heart.

You (A)find out who your friends are.

You (G)find out who your friends are.

Run your car off the side of the road, get your (Em7)stuck in a ditch and way a (G)out in the mid dle of (D)no where,

Get your self in a bind, lose the shirt off your (Em7)back, in a ditch and need a (G)floor, need a couch, need a (D)bus fare,

man, I’ve been there.

Man, I’ve been there.
