Lyrics

Thick as Thieves Johnsmith Blue Pine Music ASCAP

Me and my friend Rowdy, we were thick as thieves
If you found Rowdy, you probably found me
Walking the railroad tracks, out to Silver Creek
Me and Rowdy, thick as thieves

Me and Rowdy, we weren’t really thieves
We only took a few Lucky Strikes from his mom Annabelle when she fell asleep
Blowin smoke rings, and shootin’ the breeze
Under the stars, me and Rowdy, thick as thieves

Chorus
Thick as thieves, thick as thieves
We stole the day, we stole the night, we stole the twilight in between
We were only kids, but we had it all, we believed
Me and Rowdy thick as thieves.

Me and Rowdy got through high school somehow
Drivin his beat up Galaxy ‘round the gravel roads outside of town
Couple a beers, couple cute girls, kissing beneath the cottonwood trees
Me and Rowdy, thick as thieves

Me and Rowdy, each went our own way
I followed songs to California, Rowdy took a job at the factory
Somehow the years piled on, we didn’t talk that much it seemed
Me and Rowdy, thick as thieves

Repeat CHORUS

Then Rowdy called one day, and gave me the news
That he drew a bad card this time, and the doctors only gave him, a month or two

Last time I saw Rowdy, he wasn’t looking so great
I pulled up a chair next to his recliner grabbed my guitar and started to play
I kissed him on the forehead, when I got up to leave
It’s hard to say good-by when you’re thick as thieves
It’s hard to say good-by when you’re thick as thieves
Me and my friend Rowdy, we were thick as thieves
