Sandhill PinesWe were best friends from the first grade We grew up together in the same woods And though we shared a few hardships All things considered we did pretty good We caught crawfish down in Nock's Creek Stole your dad's beer for our very first drunk Lost loved ones we cannot replace Carved our girlfriends' names in the same tree trunk Chorus: Here's to you first and last friend of mine I still raise my glass to you Across the endless miles and all our past times I don't move as fast as I used to And I've traded stolen beer for red wine But our friendship will always stand tall Just like those tall sandhill pines Remember when you were wounded You got your wings clipped for flying too high I climbed that fence each afternoon Cause but for the grace of God there go I We crossed the line so many times Sometimes it was tough to find our way back We spent our youth deep in the gray But we kept each other out of the black Chorus: Here's to you first and last friend of mine I still raise my glass to you Across the endless miles and all our past times I don't move as fast as I used to And I've traded stolen beer for red wine But our friendship will always stand tall Just like those tall sandhill pines Bridge: Maybe it's not what we wanted But it's better than nothing at all My friend we'll always be brothers Like the sandhill pines will always be tall As boys change to men with families Old friendships sometimes pay a heavy price But you know if you needed me I'd be there for you without thinking twice So in a way we've been lucky To keep the demons of our youth at bay But when something's in your pocket That doesn't mean you have thrown it away Chorus: Here's to you first and last friend of mine I still raise my glass to you Across the endless miles and all our past times I don't move as fast as I used to And I've traded stolen beer for red wine But our friendship will always stand tall Just like those tall sandhill pines Copyright Kent Newsome and Ronnie Jeffrey All Rights Reserved |
