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
