Run your car off the side of the road Get in a ditch way out in the middle of nowhere Or get yourself in a bind lose the shirt off your back Need a floor, need a couch, need a 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 drop everything Run out and crank up their car Hit 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 old heart You find out who your friends are
Everybody wants to slap your back wants to shake hand when you're up on top of that mountain But let one of those rocks give way then you slide back down Look up and see who's around then
This ain't where the road to an end This ain't where the bandwagon This is just one of those times when A lot of folks jump off
{Chorus}
When the water's high When the weather's not so fair When the well runs Who's gonna be there?
{Chorus}
You find out who your friends are (yeah, yeah) You find out who your friends are
Run your car off the side of the road Get stuck a ditch way out in the middle of nowhere (Well man, I've been there) Or get yourself in a bind lose the shirt off your back Need a floor, need a couch, a bus fare (Man, I've been there)
