Backstory:
"My Closest Friend" was inspired by a film I saw on the life of Johnny Cash, and a biography I read on the life of Hank Williams--all in the same 2 or 3 week period, no kidding.
Lyrics:
MY CLOSEST FRIEND
V1.
Well a charcoal sky says your porch light's out
I'm shivering as I reach for the key
But there was a time when there was no doubt
The warmth of your smile always greeted me
CH.
But now you're tired of running on faith
And you're tired of trying again
Well I wonder what happened to my biggest fan
Not to mention MY CLOSEST FRIEND
Yeah MY CLOSEST FRIEND
V1.
You say don't talk about it now
Time will find us and heal our wound
But lately the strings inside of my heart
Seem to keep playin' a strange new tune
CH.
It goes I'm tired of running on faith
And I'm tired of trying again
Well I wonder what happened to my biggest fan
Not to mention MY CLOSEST FRIEND
Yeah MY CLOSEST FRIEND
BR.
Where's the sweet love we once knew
Where's the tenderness we used to share
Between the things we want
And the things we must do
Is there no room for love anywhere?
CH.
When we're tired of running on faith
And we're tired of trying again
Well I wonder what happened to my biggest fan
Not to mention MY CLOSEST FRIEND
Yeah MY CLOSEST FRIEND
