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?
Not mine.... was helped by the kindness of a stranger today in an amazing way. I guess there's no shame in being homeless I'm not now but I was for three and a half years.  I left out the last chorus it just repeats...
