Friend (goin' Home) Lyrics

by Harry Connick, Jr.

(Verse)
I might not say what I have in the back of my mind
But you always seem to know
You can see right through me
You always get right to me
Even if I might not let it show

(Verse)
I can't recall all the times that I held out my hand
And you held out your hand too
Never did you doubt me,
You knew all about me
And you've found a way to pull me through

(Chorus)
When the road I'm running doesn't end
Then love is waiting round the bend
I pick up my pace and then I pretend
I'm going home to see my friend

Alright, yea

(Verse)
Took me a long time to learn, I'm glad you waited around
Sometimes I take a while to see
I'm better because of you, I hope you know I love you
‘Cause I know how much that you love me

(Chorus)
When the road I'm running doesn't end
Then love is waiting round the bend (for me)
I pick up my pace and then I pretend
I'm going home to see my friend

(Bridge)
Like the blood I bleed
That's a friend indeed
It's a church on the horizon
All the soldier who knows the world is screwed
It's the shoulder that he cries on

(Chorus)
When the road I'm running doesn't
(It's a neverending road)
Then love is waiting round the bend
(And there's loving waiting there for me)
I pick up my pace and then I pretend
(I'm makin' believe that I'm goin' home)
I'm going home to see my friend

I'm going home to see my friend
(Going home to see)
I'm going home to see my friend
