Toasting My Friends

I wonder how Mike & Amy are doing
Since the Lord gave them some burdens to bear
I hope they see right through these storm clouds brewing
To the sunny skies that are waiting there

So come on boys I’m buying this round
We’re toasting my friends up in New York town

Dawn and David are a mother and son
Who run a bar with a jukebox that can’t be beat
They put a picture of my boy up on their wall
Next to the bravest firefighter you ever could meet

So come on boys I’m buying this round
We’re toasting my friends up in New York town

Now the years I spent living in this town
I met folks that would take a bullet for me
They’d cover my back – they’d stand their ground
Then belly on up to the bar with me

Now some of you might not understand
The bonds that are built when you’re living there
It don’t matter where I travel throughout this land
A New York heart follows my everywhere

So come on boys I’m buying this round
We’re toasting my friends up in New York town
