[English]

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 lightening

Threw some punches then we had a laugh

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

...

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 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, 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 and I'll take the low

Woah, woah-oh, woah, 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

I can see that you and me are gonna be friends, yeah
