Oh There's a moment in this journey that I gave up My boots just couldn't walk another mile And that cloud above me had no silver lining I couldn't buy a break with my last dime Oh but when I saw you standing in the corner I'd never thought that you would have my back But then we rolled in like the thunder and the lightning Threw some punches then we had a laugh Just some roughed up desperados Hanging tough through thick and thin Kicking up dust wherever we go I can see that you and me are gonna be friends Who'd thought we'd wind up here together? It's crazy that we're standing side by side Fighting just like two birds of a feather Who's gonna tell us now that we can't fly? Just some roughed up desperados Hanging tough through thick and thin Kicking up dust wherever we go And I can see that you and me are gonna be friends To the end you and me are gonna be friends Yeah Here we go Hey, hey you and me Different as different can be You like to rock, I like to roll You take the high, I'll take the low Woah, woah-oh, woah-oh Just some roughed up desperadoes Hanging tough through thick and thin Kicking up dust wherever we go I can see that you and me are gonna be friends To the end you and me are gonna be friends And I can see that you and me are gonna be friends, yeah
