Hometown friends mean alot to me 
        D5          A5               E5 F#5 
But the longer I'm here it seems the less of them I see 
        D5         A5                E5           A5 
And the further I get it seems the longer I'm away 
   D5         A5      E5             A5 
I guess time equals distance that way 
 

D5        A5              E5              A5 
I saw an friend of mine just the other day 
      D5                  A5             E5                F#5 
He complained about some college loans he's still gotta pay 
       D5            A5                   E5                A5 
And we talked about high school and the days that went before 
       D5                    A5                   E5       F#5 
But he said he didn't think they made days like that anymore 
 
Chorus 
 
I saw an old girlfriend that I used to date 

She got married back in April, she said she couldn't wait 

Because she had a new born baby six months after that date 

She said a debts a life you just a debt gotta pay.....yeah

We'll I like to think we'd all would stay friends along the way 
        C5                G5            D5                    E5 
Well, I know we probably won't, but I guess that?s just as well 
        C5                 G5                C5              G5 
And I'd like to think the paths of you and I would cross again 
      C5                 G5              C5              D5  
But I know the paths of you and me are perfectly parallel....yeah

I had a girl plain right from here,  
Yeah, I knew that we had something but knew it wasn't near 
I'm with her now and forever I will stay cause I know  
Time equals distance that way....yeah
