I`m going to tell you about it here,
I can`t remember how old I was,
When Mama said to me,
If it makes you happy, son,
Then be what you want to be.
Now, Lord, that my arms they`re reaching for the sky.
The people I thought were my friends are starting to wonder why,
And I say
Chorus:
Have some trust in your old friend, baby,
I`ll be around if you need a helping hand.
I`ve traveled around,
Lord, playing my songs almost for free,
If you`re wondering what it`s worth, it means the world to me.
Now all they do is turn their heads when I walk by,
I can`t see why they don`t understand, hell, they just wondering why,
And I say
Chorus:
Have some trust in your old friend, baby,
I`ll be around if you need a helping hand.
The time has come for me to say these words to all of you.
Y`all always trusted me before, well I am doing what I got to do,
You talk about me behind my back and play your foolish games.
But when it comes to real trust, baby,
It`s worth much more than fame.
Have some trust in your old friend, baby,
I`ll be around if you need a helping hand.
(REPEAT)
