My friend finally made a record and took to the road and played guitar   He met this girl from Pennsylvania stuck by his side in love and war   Fearful and fussy, but so faithful, poor and devoted, real and true   She's not the type to be forsaken and I see much of her in you      While on a gig up in Toronto during a pause between his show   He met this foxy German stallion who understood him head to toe   She played it smart and learned his weakness and made him confess and yield into   Her lustful whims became his fancy and I would fear the same from you      Then in the swank suburbs of Houston off in a mansion built of stone   Escorted by this wealthy widow into her lounge and left alone   Her maid announced that she was waiting for him to come and rendezvous   Where he bestowed a long relation one like I hope to have with you      Then on the sands right off the ocean just as the sun sank in the sea   So did my buddy slow and easy into a freak of fancy-free   It was a group in automation getting together two by two   Where people live and love one another, people who live like me and you      Then on the beach in warm Miami there was a teacher far from school   Taught him the way to please a woman, made him concede the Golden Rule   He learned to do it unto others as he used to just have them do   So they began to come together as I will try to do with you      And there was one who was a virgin, never been touched by anyone   She was as pure as any angel, in fact she's called to be a nun   But it was all because my buddy just couldn't spoil a girl so true   And so he left her as he found her, like I may have to do with you      The girl he's got now, he's never left her, she was the first I thought he'd shun   Until I saw my buddy's eyes, when she came forth and bore his son   Since then he's known no other woman, I think his ramblin' days are through   They built a home up in the country, a life I'd love to build with you      Although you've never known my buddy and I am sure he don't know you   But you know the life he's living and all of the changes he's been through   Sweetheart, I'm talking about my buddy 'cause I don't want to wind up blue   I could be happy with you only 'cause I see all of them in you
