My friend, oh, my brother
I hope this finds you well
I'm doing good
I met a girl
You'd get along like a house on fire
I think about when times were hard
We'd sit and not say a word
Share a drink or three, just keeping company
And know the other one was there, yeah

So thank you for all that you did
The times you saved me from myself
Thank you for lifting me up
When I thought the world had won

And you're miles away
From where you lay down to sleep
I can't believe it's been so many years
And while I wish that you were here
I hope you're feelin' better
Knowing that all of us are missing you from miles away

If only you were here to see
The man I've grown to be
Traded the bottle for a home
And tiny terrors of my own
I wish that you could meet them
A few kids and a wife
I found that perfect life
We always talked about
They'll always know your name

I wanna thank you for all that you did
For the times you saved me from myself
So thank you for all that you said
When I thought my world was done

And you're miles away
From where you lay down to sleep
I can't believe it's been so many years
And while I wish that you were here
I hope you're feelin' better
Knowing that all of us are missing you from miles away

And you're miles away
From where you lay down to sleep
I can't believe it's been so many years
And while I wish that you were here
I hope you're feelin' better
Knowing that all of us are missing you from miles away
