Friends & Enemies from Friends & Enemies by Duane Mark

Waitin' at the station, down on forty-third
I came upon a man who was looking low on luck
You could smell the alcohol that propelled his every word
Strange how wisdom finds you and hits you like a truck

He said “One thing I have plenty, is old Friends and Enemies.
I’ve learned a lot in this here life, So I’ma tell you a thing or three.

Hold on to your dear love
and thank your lucky stars above
If you ever need to fight,
keep your fists up high and tight
Should you hear one thing today,
listen closely when I say
When, not if, you lose your light
Friends and Enemies will help you right.”

I was puzzled by the way of this old man’s words
Just couldn't shake the fact that his thoughts struck
It was enough to miss my ride, now I'm stuck on forty-third
Funny how wisdom finds you and hits you like a truck

He said “One thing I have plenty, is old Friends and Enemies.
I’ve learned a lot in this here life, So I’ma tell you a thing or three.

Hold on to your dear love
and thank your lucky stars above
If you ever need to fight,
keep your fists up high and tight
Should you hear one thing today,
listen closely when I say
When, not if, you lose your light
Friends and Enemies will help you right.”

I'll tell you - One thing I have plenty, is old Friends and Enemies.
I’ve learned a lot in this here life, So I’ma tell you a thing or three.

Hold on to your dear love
and thank your lucky stars above
If you ever need to fight,
keep your fists up high and tight
Should you hear one thing today,
listen closely when I say
When, not if, you lose your light
Friends and Enemies will help you right.

When, not if, you lose your light
Friends and Enemies will help you right.
Friends and Enemies will help you right.
