Best Friend

Best Friend - Johnny Cash (約翰尼·卡什)

Hmm an old man on his deathbed once said to me

You are the master of your destiny

A diamond is a diamond and a stone is a stone

But a man's not all good nor all bad

When the chips're all down

And your back's at the wall

You're the best friend that you've ever had

You're the best friend that you've ever had

So you laugh when it's time to laugh

And you cry when it's time to cry

Live while it's time to live

Cause you'll die when it's time to die hmm

Then he closed his eyes and he left me alone

This old man's wisdom brought his meaning home

A diamond is a diamond

And a stone is a stone

But a man's not all good nor all bad

When the chips're all down

And your back's at the wall

You're the best friend that you've ever had

You're the best friend that you've ever had

So you laugh when it's time to laugh

And you cry when it's time to cry

Live while it's time to live

Cause you'll die when it's time to die hmm

Well now that I'm older I found this is true

The thing that remains is the good that you do

A diamond is a diamond and a stone is a stone

But a man's not all good nor all bad

When the chips are all down

And your back's at the wall

God is the best friend that you've ever had

God is the best friend that you've ever had

So you laugh when it's time

To laugh and you cry when it's time to cry

Live while it's time to live

Cause you'll die when it's time to die hmm
