I'm going to tell you about it here I can't remember how old I was When Mama said to me If it makes you happy, son Then be what you want to be Now, Lord, that my arms they're reaching for the sky The people I thought were my friends are starting to wonder why And I say Chorus: Have some trust in your old friend, baby I'll be around if you need a helping hand I've traveled around Lord, playing my songs almost for free If you're wondering what it's worth, it means the world to me Now all they do is turn their heads when I walk by I can't see why they don't understand, hell, they just wondering why And I say Chorus: Have some trust in your old friend, baby I'll be around if you need a helping hand The time has come for me to say these words to all of you Y'all always trusted me before, well I am doing what I got to do You talk about me behind my back and play your foolish games But when it comes to real trust, baby It's worth much more than fame Have some trust in your old friend, baby I'll be around if you need a helping hand (REPEAT)
