英文乡村歌曲：Gretchen Wilson - One Good Friend

One good friend
I remember when
All the elders said
You'd be lucky if you had one good friend
Who will let you be hateful
Stop you and knock some sense in your head
Forgive you and let you
Take back the things that you said
Hmm, yeah
.
Lucky me
Cause when I need to talk
You jump in the car
Just like family, stealin' my view
Seein' me through
And just in a minute
We're laughin' again
About how we cried over money and men
And I just wanna say in my life I had
One good friend
Hmm, yeah yeah
.
One good friend
Like a shadow, like a willow¹ standing² by me
Strong enough to bend
Never breaking, never telling all my secrets
Are safe in your heart
As well as in your hands
And I just wanna say in my life I had
One good friend.
Hmm, yeah
.
One good friend
Like a shadow, like a willow standing by me
Strong enough to bend
Never breaking, never telling all my secrets
Are safe in your heart
As well as in your hands
And I just wanna say in my life I had
One good friend.
Oh yeah
.
So if it means³ anything
In the end you're my
One good friend.
