I met Jimmy on a barstool
Listenin' to old school country
They were playin' 'em all
Made a buddy down in Key West
Met him on the weekend
Fishin', now they're up on the wall
He says, "It's all about who you know"
Well, I've got friends everywhere I go
Ain't got a boat on a lake that I park on the water
Or a 401k that I built from the bottom
One of those credit cards, that could buy this bar
A round or two
But I've got friends that do
I called on a Friday, to get a little sideways
Always skip the line at the door
We end up on a bender, 'cause he knows the bartender
That's why we don't pay anymore
He says, "It's all about who you know"
Well, I got friends everywhere I go
Ain't got a boat on a lake that I park on the water
Or a 401k that I built from the bottom
One of those credit cards, that could buy this bar
A round or two
Ain't got a house on a hill, for a poolside party
Or tickets to the game I could use come Sunday
Ain't got a pickup truck for haulin' stuff when I need to
But I've got friends that do
Yeah, I've got friends that do
Friends like you, woo
Ain't got a boat on a lake I park on the water
Or a 401k that I built from the bottom
One of those credit cards, that could buy this bar
A round or two
Ain't got a house on a hill, for a poolside party
Or tickets to the game I could use come Sunday
Ain't got a pickup truck for haulin' stuff when I need to
But I've got friends that do
I got some friends that do
I got friends that do
(Hey Joe, You're buyin' tonight, right?
(Nope, not me, man)
(But you said you were buyin')
(No sir)
(Joe, I thought you were my friend)
