Mates
Verse 1
Rich childhood memories
Friends in the park
Playing cricket with mates
Getting home after dark
Wonderful innocent times
Of friendship and fun
No helicopter parents
Stopping our run
Verse 2
Rebellious teen years
Great friendships in tact
Sly smoke back of shed
Great fun in a pack
We drank underaged
Chased the odd girl
Argued about sport
Our lives were a whirl
Verse 3
We aged into our 20's
Started to settle down
Weddings started happening
Children were around
Old times lesser seen
We occasionally let lose
Cheeky grins reappear
Our friendships ensued
Verse 4
Time drifts us apart
As we hit middle age
We gather less frequently
As circumstances change
One thing never changes
As time passes by
The love of my mates
It never dies
​
Verse 5
So we might bore others
With our stories of past
I dont really care
As my love for them lasts
