I recall when I used [bad word] home never had a dime 
But Lord I always had a good time 
And I recall drinkin' wine with one of my friends 
Lord, I can't go back again
 [bad word] 
I losin' my own way back home 
I losin' a good friend that I've known 
I losin' won't you tell me how I've sinned 
Why am I losin one of my bets friends

And I recall this friend of mine I knew so well 
It goes to show Lord you just can't tell 
Now my friend won't talk to me Let me tell you why 
he thinks I 've changed because of a dollar sign 
 [bad word] 

And its so strange when you get just a little money 
Your so called friends want to act just a little funny 
They'll blame you 

But I'm not the one that's here to blame 
Its you my friend that's really changed 
Its a shame, such a shame 
I losin' once again 

Why these things happen, Lord I don't understand 
But Lord it can sure hurt a man 
Why my friend won't take me as I am 
'Cause your friend Lord is the most important thing
 [bad word]
