  • 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.

    Yeah, today I said goodbye
    To an old friend of mine. Writer/s: BROCK STALVEY, RICK TIGER
