Lyrics
Verse 1
Meant to go to church on Sunday
But I was still in bed
Cause Saturday night I hit the town
With my old friends instead

So I'm late to work on Monday
The boss says I'm a jerk
He says I’ve had a warning
But it don't seem to work

Chorus 1
With friends I’ve got
I don’t need no enemies
The friends I’ve got
Are just bad company

Verse 2
I get a call from Stanley
And I know the reason why
Every time he calls me 
He just needs an alibi 

Joe borrows all my money
And he never pays me back
Cause he likes to play the horses
And he’s always at the track

Chorus 1

Bridge
You might think I’m crazy
To hang out with this crew
But who am I to turn to
When life makes me so blue

Verse 3
I like to drive my Mustang
It‘s my only pride and joy
But I’m getting speeding tickets
Since I lent it out to Roy

Sam says he's got religion
And don't do wrong no more
But folks are out to get him 
And they're knocking on my door


Chorus 2
With friends I’ve got
I don’t need no enemies
With friends I’ve got
I just need your sympathy

Ha ha... This is a fun listen. 
Clever lyrics delivered in laid back fashion over a rolling blues based arrangement.
Really dig your bass playing and tone in this man...

I was about to start complaining because I was not able to comment, then I discovered that I wasn't logged in!!! Love this one Roger, I think you have a lot more songs in you. You are still hiding your voice a bit though.
