Run your car off the side of the road
get stuck in a ditch way out in the middle of nowhere
Get yourself in a bind
Lose the shirt off your back
Need a couch,
need a floor
need a bus fare

This is where the rubber meets the road
This is where the cream is gonna rise
This is what you really didn't know
This is where the truth don't lie

Chorus:
You Find Out Who Your Friends Are
Somebody's gonna to drop everything
Run out and crank up their car
Hit the gas
get there fast
Never stop to think what's in it for me
Or it's way too far
They just show on up with their big ol heart
You find out who your friends are

Everybody wants to slap your back
Wants to shake your hand
when you're up on top of that mountain
But let one of those rocks give way
And see who's around then

This ain't where the road comes to an end
This ain't where the bandwagon stops
This is just one of those times
when a lot of folks jump off

You find out who your friends are somebody's gonna drop everything
run out and crank up their car
Hit the gas
get there fast
never stop to think what's in it for me or it's way too far
they just showing up with their big ol heart
You Find Out Who Your Friends Are

When the waters high
When the weather's not so fair
When the well runs dry
who's going to be there?

Lyrics to Find Out Who Your Friends Are by Tracy Lawrence.



Cherie Nolan.... it's a good **** question don't you think?

Dead heads stare from the wall

one can't tell if their glassy eyes
hold the relics of past life
or the sadness of having lost it
to the fires of royal pastime

tiger eyes look pathetically pleading
for re-stitching the stripes on the bones
leopard head growls only in anguish
of his spots being soft spot for target
the open jaws of the croc
can't still swallow the stuck bullet
awed eyes of deer is yet to sense
the muzzle that ruptured its innocence
the jackals, birds, langurs, civets
all frozen in the suddenness of the ***** out.

The hunter's head peeps from a dusty frame
having got his place of pride
among his game.

had it run just straight
with no turn on either side
we all would surely fret
life is such a boring ride

life is so dully made
that's all we would say
the road is clearly laid
same looks every day

no bumps and no holes
sharp bends of surprise
the way blandly rolls
we don't fall and rise

thank god ain't so made
life has twist and turn
in search of what's ahead
we persist with the run.

I hold my ears keen
Keep eyes opened wide
But can't solve the riddle
Of who's on whose side.

Today Tom heaps praise
Showers laurels too many
Tomorrow hell is raised
Tim is Tom's enemy.

How fast makes Tom amend
Finds Tim full of flaws
Pete is now his friend
Tim Tom unfollows.

He digs out wrongs of Tim
Finds him crooked and sly
So inducts in his team
Pete the nicest guy.

I can't hold back smile
Though at end of wit
How friendship is volatile
Sour turns a relation sweet.

I wonder why it's so
With life such a brief ride
We never really grow
Feel the need to be on same side.
