Steven My Best Friend

Steven showed up in a faded Ford

Two busted speakers and a bucket seat

He said, “Hop in, I got gas for a week”

We laughed so hard we could barely breathe

He knew my dog and my mama’s name

Knew where I hid when the whole world rained

Never asked why, just stayed the same

Like a hand on my back when the road went plain

When my plans fell through

When my heart ran thin

He was right there too

Like he always been

Steven, my best friend

Steady as a fencepost in the wind

Steven, my best friend

He pulls me back up and takes me in

(Oh, Steven)

My best friend

(Yeah, Steven)

My best friend

He broke down once on county road nine

I had a wrench and a half a tank

We sat on the tailgate, talking all night

About old mistakes and a bank of clouds

He said, “One day we’ll look back on this”

With mud on our boots and a scar on his lip

Now every hard mile I’ve ever missed

Feels a little less heavy when I think like this

When the sky turns mean

And the night feels long

He reminds me we

Can keep rolling on

Steven, my best friend

Steady as a fencepost in the wind

Steven, my best friend

He pulls me back up and takes me in

(Oh, Steven)

My best friend

(Yeah, Steven)

My best friend

If I ever get lost out on my own

I know that voice will lead me home

No gold, no prize, no bigger name

Just Steven calling mine the same

Steven, my best friend

Steady as a fencepost in the wind

Steven, my best friend

He pulls me back up and takes me in

(Oh, Steven)

My best friend

(Yeah, Steven)

My best friend
