Reed, Jerry - A Friend Lyrics
Now this old life ain't somethin' that you live all by yourself
There always comes a time you need a friend
Sometimes this world can get so heavy and the road can get so long
That you need someone to lend a helpin' hand
But when I look back down the road at where I've been
I can see that all the things that I've done in this ol' life have been more fun
Cause I shared them with someone who was a friend
You've got to care about one another be a friend and be a brother
Cause you're always gonna need someone that you can lean on
You've got to help each other out that's what this life is all about
Cause there ain’t no way that you can make this journey alone
Well I guess that I'm just lucky cause I've been there and back
But as far as I'm concerned the greatest thing that a man can learn
Is when you're down it's great to turn to a friend
Well I guess that I'm just lucky cause I've been there and back...
Turn to a friend

Burt Reynolds said nobody had more fun than he did. It's easy to see why.
I love this movie, Burt/Jerry and 1975!!
RIP to all.
So good!
Big Don Williams and Mel Tellis.
Really a very good movie. Only Burt/Jerry movie that was better was Smokey and the Bandit. But the music in this one was fantastic!!
One of Burt/Jerry's best movie. Music is fantastic!!

I watched this movie filmed and was in it, per Burt Reynolds even attended the premier in Nashville. Brings back a lot of good memories. I love this song !
TOOK PEGGY TO SEE THIS MOVIE WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT.....OUR FIRST DATE! FAIRBOULT, MINNESOTA, 1975. STILL LOVE YA HON!!!
MISS YA ALOT PEGGY !!!!!!!
Wish they would release this movie on DVD
I want them to remaster it and put it out on Blu-Ray. The old copies are all very grainy but it was such a great movie it needs to be restored while they can. And release the soundtrack. I love this particular song but they never released it anywhere else that I can find.
@Sandtown Ranch I had a greatest hits cassette that was the first place I remember hearing this song.Being 9 when the movie came out, I wasn't allowed to watch it.
Does anyone know the chords?
GREAT MOVIE. GREAT CAST. GREATER SONG!
you don't have the last song on this album every other album you have up is complete but where is chicken fat
Great song- whatever happened to this movie- it seems to have fell off the face of the earth? I best recall Art Carney's hell-fire sermon on sins of the flesh when asked if he was interested in bar-b-cue, and the reply "you don't want no bar-b-cue, do you?"
ur not related to those enis boys ru?
I've been recording this when I was a kid on cassette tape when the movie was on television. Have lost the cassette of course. Been searchin' for that version ever since. Thanks for loading it up! Made my day!
one of the best movie songs ever....
