lyrics

here you come to beg and borrow
my old fair-weather friend
you've known me long enough to ask for favors
but we are not as close as you pretend

and though you say that we have suffered
you still look handsome through the smoke
your voice as smooth as honey
dripping slowly down my throat

(chorus)
boy you have jumped into the trap with both feet
and now if you fight they will know you are weak

the years have not been gentle or forgiving
I'm too worn down to push or pull
you don't see too many my age
lining up to fight a bull

so I'm loyal until I get hungry
and there's never been enough to go around
so if they say your name and offer me the silver
you should know I can't afford to turn it down

(chorus)
