Guy Clark - "Old Friends" [Live from Austin, TX] 

If you don't have any old friends this song will certainly make you wish you had some !!!

That's one of the most beautiful songsI've ever heard. Thank you Guy!

Simple chords, simple music, simple lyrics. The best things in life usually aren't too complicated.

Chris Stapleton brought me here. Thanks to him for keeping country music alive. Real country music, like Guy Clark here.

It's Nov. 2020 and this song makes even more sense than ever.

God bless his soul,he did so much for mine.. Thank you Guy.rest in peace.

He was an American National Treasure and I got to see him and meet him more than once , one of the musical highlights of my life

God damnit if it isn't ANOTHER classic... just when I think that I must have heard all Guy's greatest songs, I stumble upon another that I had never heard... such an unbelievably underrated songwriter

This song brings tears to my eyes

The Greatest Of All Time. There's nobody out there right now that even comes close.

WOOOOOOOHOOOOOO!!! One of the Absolute Best!!!! Calm Cool Collective!!! TRUE MUSIC PATRIOT!! Gave his best every Performance!!! True entertainer along lines of Elvis & Waylon!!! R.I.P. Friend!!! HIS Music will live 4Ever!!!

Guy is one of the greats.. period...

tragically lost my dad and one of the closest friendships I ever knew within two short years of one another. I could not listen to this song for some time without being a total wreck of emotions and tears. hold your people close and never be afraid to show them your appreciation and love.

This song, as with a lot of Guy Clarks work, goesight to the heart and soul...

I heard this song on the radio about 10 or 20 years ago on KUT Austin. It's been in my heart ever since

Amen, I wish I could call my brother !. I miss him so much.

Such an incredible concert. And Edgar Meyer on bass is an extra special bonus!

The bowed bass on this really tears at my sole.

It's 2023 still holding up in my head anyway

It's like when you're making conversation And you're trying not to scream And you're trying not to tell 'em You don't care what they mean And you're really feeling fragile And you really can't get home And you really feel abandoned But you want to be alone Chorus Old Friends they shine like diamonds Old Friends you can always call Old Friends Lord you can't buy 'em You know it's Old Friends after all And when the house is empty And the lights begin to fade And there's nothing to protect you Except the window shade And it's hard to put your finger On the thing that scares you most And you can't tell the difference Between an angel and a ghost

It's like when you're making conversation And you're trying not to scream And you're trying not to tell 'em That you don't care what they mean And you're really feeling fragile And you really can't get home And you really feel abandoned But you want to be alone Old friends, they shine like diamonds Old friends, you can always call Old friends, Lord, you can't buy 'em You know it's old friends after all And when the house is empty And the light begins to fade And there's nothing to protect you Except the window shade And it's hard to put your finger On the thing that scares you most And you can't tell the difference Between an angel and a ghost Old friends, they shine like diamonds Old friends, you can always call Old friends Lord, you can't buy 'em You know it's old friends after all

Thank you GC +++

It's beautiful... more beautiful than the old friends... if they existed.

One of the best
