I know you've been down just as far as a good man can go
And the hurtin' has come easy but the healin' has been slow
But you're on your way to recovery and you're not alone
'Cause Nancy sure loves you and she's gonna take care of ol' Jones

So cry on my shoulder and let's both get over the bad
Let's chalk it up to just one more bad memory we have
Friendship's the one thing that keeps love from driving us mad
So cry on my shoulder, we're the best friends that we ever had

I heard you left Haggard, I knew by the words in his song
And you're wondering if you're right, sittin' at home, all alone
But I know you still love him 'cause you're always there when he calls
And always remember that you're his favorite memory of all

So cry on my shoulder and let's both get over the bad
Let's chalk it up to just one more bad memory we have
Friendship's the one thing that keeps love from driving us mad
So cry on my shoulder, we're the best friends that we ever had
