Fun side note: I recorded this in one take at my home in St. Petersburg, FL using one microphone and one guitar track on an old Fostex VF08 that I still have tucked away somewhere. My daughter came home from school, 1st or 2nd grade, with a picture she had drawn. It wasn't finished but I loved it just as it was and decided that it was the perfect cover for the recording.
Lyrics
THAT KIND OF FRIEND
(music and lyrics by Rebekah Pulley)
I need a friend
Someone I can defend
Just so long as they don't call me drunk again
Wanting me to pick up their kid
Because I ain't that kind of friend
I don't care if my friend leans on me
Just so long as they don't use me as a crutch
I don't care if my friend confides in my trust
Just so long as they don't abuse it too much
Because I ain't that kind of friend
I've had friends who made me cry
I've had friends who broke my heart in two
I've had friends who stacked the cards against me
And then they left me standing in their shoes
I ain't that kind of friend
I've don't care if my friends talk about me
Just so long as they talk behind my back
I don't care if my friends lead me off the beaten path
Just so long as they don't lead me down the wrong track
Because I ain't that kind of friend
