Title: Quarter Friends
lyrics & music by: Jeff Knight, BMI
c1991
(1st verse)
George Jones keeps reminding me that he stopped loving her today
Merle Haggard gets me thinking ramblin fever's on its way
Goerge Strait curves my nervous condition by telling me I need to unwind
Clint Black keeps me sane shooting the bull and killing time
(Chorus)
Whoever said you can't buy friends, surely had it all wrong
every time I drop a quarter, another friend comes along
If there were no jukebox's, no juke joints worth the drive
if it wasn't for my quarter friends, I'd be the loneliest man alive
(2nd verse)
Vern Gosdin asks about the weather as he complains about the rain
Vince Gill is there to remind me nobody answers when I call their name
Alan Jackson talks about Georgia and chasing that rainbow
Eddie Raven shows me pictures and he tells me about Mexico
(Repeat Chorus)

If it wasn't for my quarter friends I'd be so lonesome I could cry
