My Ex-Best Friend

She’s my ex-best friend
We’d hit the bars all night and stagger on home at dawn
Sometimes she’d start a catfight and finish with her clothes all torn
She was one of those girls; she played football with the boys
She had such an evil laugh and a husky, tequila voice
Chorus
Through thick and thin and fire and rain, on her I could depend
Until one time she crossed that line and that day, she became …
My ex-best friend
We were livin’ as one and we made love every night
Sometimes it seemed so wrong yet it always seemed so right
She liked her little kinky places we hardly used our boudoir
She loved the edge of a cliff, she loved the kitchen sink,
she loved the back seat of her Daddy’s car
Chorus
But then one day she wanted to stray and I refused to buckle or bend
So she packed her bags; I sent her on her way and that day she became …
My ex-best friend
She’s my ex-best friend
She’s been gone so long I wonder if she ever thinks of me
I sometimes wanna call her up but I’ll just let her be
Her picture stays above my fireplace hanging proudly on my wall
And when I look back now, what she did back then, really didn’t matter at all
Forgive and forget, I’ve got a new mindset; it’s time to let hostilities end
Decision made but I regret that day she became my ex best friend
Well the years went by; how time flies and I don’t know where or when
But there will come a time, when I look into those eyes …
… Of my ex-best friend (Repeat & Fade)
