An Old Friend Of Mine Lyrics - Old Things New - Joe Nichols

Today I did something 

I never thought I'd do 

The choice, wasn't easy 

But I had to 

All the years together 

All those cold lonely nights 

I never thought I'd be strong enough 

To leave it all behind 

Yeah, today I said goodbye 

To an old friend of mine. 

Well it won't be easy 

But it's never easy 

When you let down 

The one you love 

There's someone at home 

Who needs me 

So I'm givin' up 

She always knew the truth 

Never left my side 

Man a love like that 

Only comes once in a life 

So today I said goodbye 

To an old friend of mine 

My hands were shakin' 

And my knees were weak 

As I poured my last shot 

And I drank my last drink. 

And I heard freedom ring 

When that bottle hit the floor 

And I just walked away 

Not needing any more 

Yeah, today I said goodbye 

To an old friend of mine.
