Old Friend Lyrics
You're like an old friend
Come and see me again
A solid line that never ends
I've got stories you'll never realize
And I know it I wear it on my sleeve
You're like an old friend
Come and see me again
Right here in the rain you know it just don't seem right
I always go out I never hide but in Cleveland
I should have stayed inside
You're like an old friend
Come and see me again
For you I know it runs deep through your body too
From the cold blacktop to the hot concrete
The old tan van it ain't so sweet
in the city at night
yeah...
We were far from home,
but you know it was gonna be alright

The old friend is heroin. This is a love song but it's not about a girl. It's about heroin and heroin addiction. The "old friend " is heroin

Kinda a punk rock love song type of thing.....fucking awesome tho......being on the road and missin someone or some shit.

i think this song is fucking sic! about falling for a person that you didnt want to fall for but did and ended up liking it i guess....i dont know!

awesome =)

This is one of my favourite if not my favourite rancid song i love them all hardcore or soft from disgruntled to Time bomb but when i first heard this i fell in live with it , at the time i fancied this girl and you know last thing you think of before you go to sleep first when you wake that first line did it for me 'good mornin heartache your like an old friend come and see me again' Anywho i think it's about tim playing in cleaveland and liking this girl but she treats him bad i.e the last verse 'you take my money and you can take my time' etc but thats what i think you guys may know different but hey we all know rancid rule.

hm.... yeah. no. i always thought it was about a girl one of them met on tour.

This songs great, I don't listen to much of rancid's stuff but I love the way the lyrics are quite sad n the tunes really happy! I think its probably about him missing people when he's on tour too but the 'Good morning hearache...' line could mean anything 2 most people

such a radical song

tcan be taken 2 ways, either its a personal story of one of the band meeting a girl in cleveland and then having to leave because they were on tour "you can take my money, you can take my time, but you cant take my heart its in the city behind" as well as that, its just a general song about falling in love with someone that you shouldnt, even though you know u shouldnt and how you cant control that.

this is a great song all of their songs change me when i listen to them i get hyper and act like a big spaz lol its very true i love rancid its one of the best bands ever
