Intro:    In the middle of his life He left his wife And ran off to be bad Boy it was sad But he bought a new car Found a new bar And went under another name Created a whole new game (bass notes:   And the days went by like paper in the wind Everything changed then changed again It’s hard to find a friend It’s hard to find a friend         Meanwhile then His wife’s boyfriend moved in and Took over the house Everybody was as quiet as a mouse And it changed their lives Changed their plans Slowly they grew apart Boy it woulda broke your heart And the days went by like paper in the wind Everything changed then changed again It’s hard to find a friend It’s hard to find a friend (honky tonk piano solo) Chorus (twice)        (twice)
