Aaron Watson - Old Friend Lyrics
We all got troubles, we all got pain
Yeah everybody's got their own versions of cocaine
Nobody's perfect like a thorn on a rose
I've got a closet full of skeletons underneath my clothes
Long overdue for confessing my confessions
Take your heart out on the highway
When you hit the road again
You're always treating every stranger
That you meet like an old friend
Your life doesn't have a rewind so don't live it with regret
And you better watch out where you flick your cigarette
So, don't be starting fires unless you're getting cold
Mix it up with wine and music and a loved one to hold
So save yourself the trouble and go cut the world some slack
You take your heart out on the highway
When you hit the road again
You're always treating every stranger
That you meet like an old friend
Just like an old friend
We all got troubles, we all got pain
Yeah everybody's got their own versions of cocaine
Left wing or right wing it takes both wings for flight
Can't you hear the children singing red and yellow, black and white
So, stop your fighting, start uniting, sing along
I think we all agree we love a Tom Petty Song
You take your heart out on the highway
When you hit the road again
You're always treating every stranger
That you meet like an old friend
You take your heart out on the highway
When you hit the road again
You're always treating every stranger
That you meet like an old friend
Just like an old friend (heart out on the highway)
Just like an old friend (heart out on the highway)
Treating every stranger (heart out on the highway)
Just like an old friend

I'm a Filipino and I love Country Music
What a Girly song.
This song makes me feel so good!
Hello From The Philippines I love this song 🎶🎼
What's the opposite of hate? This great song! I'm a new fan. We need songs like this in these times.
I'm french i love country song
Awesome. LOVE THIS SONG !
I love this song
Digging this song!
got a new fan!!
Sell out! Don’t Nashville my Texas
What do you mean?
Does no one else see the correlation between this video along with Josh Grider’s song “Good People”? It’s about being Christian and accepting everyone around you.
can't wait for a new album
love the song Aaron keep them coming.
This song is so good, love the lyrics in all of your songs 💙
Swing and a miss.
Love the new material coming out. Keep up the good work and we will see you at White Oak!
Disappointed Aaron, this isn’t you
This isn't his sound.... What in the name of Brett Eldridge & Hunter Hayes is this??
I gonna differ. This sounds right up Aaron Watsons alley. Now the music video looks like its making fun of brett eldridge and hunter hayes
I concur
Looking forward to the new album, cheers from France!
Bad . Red bandana’s songs dont like. 😢
Love the lyrics! Love the fun video! Love it all! Thanks for continuing to share new music!
Good idea. But come on Aaron. I thought this was the album of your career....I’m expecting it to make a run with underdog. Between this and the Moon song, I don’t see it happening. I believe in you though underdog....screw pop country
THANK GOD SOMEONE UNDERSTANDS
If this is pop country, then you might as well call Keith Urban a hip hop star. Is there not enough twang??? This brings back memories of mid-90's Alan Jackson or Brooks and Dunn for me.
If you've followed his entire career, he is country to the core and pretty much every album he's ever made has at least one song that's a little edgier than what he normally does. This apparently is that song.
Love this song!! You put on a hell of a show at Off The Rails.
Wonder if this was filmed around the time you did a segment on Home & Family?
hUr DuR..."not enough country in the video"...Listen to the lyrics people. The video fits them perfectly. ""Left wing or right wing it takes both wings for flight
Can’t you hear the children singing red and yellow, black and white
So, stop your fighting, start uniting, sing along""
Shout to Pismo ❤ my home.
That was an amazing day at the beach and the show in SLO at the Fremont was fantastic ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Best show I've been to ❤❤❤❤❤
That’s not you Aaron Watson
Just this song though “riding with red” is a great one
not at all
Saying a song is "not you" is typecasting an artist the same way that we do with actors. Is a comedian not allowed to star in a drama? Can a Texas country artist not write a song with a catchy hook?
Aman Chabra exactly, might not be him, but it’s a good song, nothing wrong with trying a new tune
Like the song just not sure about this video AW
matthew bradshaw not as country as I wanted it to be
Somebody falling to the pop country scene now?
@TxBoi4891 Last few singles? Riding with Red, Trying like the Devil, Like the Moon? Sound very old school to me
@Jennifer Leal that's a very stupid and ignorant statement
@Jennifer Leal when did Aaron Watson become the staple of Texans. The only one living left that should be a staple for true Texans is George strait.
Andrew Gardner who the fuck drop a quarter in your ass? The king of country is GEORGE STRAIT. Now don’t say shit about Aaron Watson who is trying to KEEP COUNTRY ALIVE. Nobody will beat George strait so I’m glad you’re smart enough to acknowledge that.
Nope. Pretty much every album he's ever done has at least one of these types of songs on them. He is 100% country.
Just can't figure out which guy is wearing the ugliest sweater. So many candidates.
But it's a great song.
Sorry but nobody asked
@Jennifer Leal and nobody asked you to leave a comment yet here you are.
Eric and nobody asked you to hate on someone who is trying to keep country alive yet Here you are commenting about what they are wearing? Listen to the song and go no need to put your two cents in.
@Jennifer Leal everything you wrote to me applies to you.
And btw.....get a sense of humor.
"Old Friend" and "Riding with Red" have their song names the wrong way round on Spotify
Let me find out someone sold the soul to the devil
Or Nashville
^be about the same to me.
If you're talking about whether Aaron Watson has sold out to Nashville, he hasn't and I don't think he ever will. Why would he? He makes the final decision on everything and he does it his way without a Nashville record label telling him who he should be, how he should sound, what he needs to wear, etc. He has tried to do a joint venture or two in the past with folks there, but nobody has agreed.
Like from Russia))
Absolutely amazing. Can’t wait for the new album. #redbandana
