Oh my friend, you sure were tested
Sometimes money was invested
There were strange things that you digested
Though you never once confessed it
Your record won't be beat or bested
No one can smear or second guess it
I guess somebody must have blessed it
Cause here you are rusted and rested

So goodbye, good luck and thank you, my old friend
The gears still turn although one journey's at an end
But I feel somehow that we'll meet up again
The road's just one big circle
Made of twists and bends

We always minused it and plussed it
Each time you got yanked, cranked and adjusted
And in some races we got dusted
And then we cursed it and we cussed it
But every time that we got busted
We finagled it and fussed it
Through it all it's you I trusted Now here you are rested and rusted

So goodbye, good luck and thank you, my old friend
The gears still turn although one journey's at an end
But I feel somehow that we'll meet up again
The road's just one big circle
Full of twists and bends
Sometimes we had our differences
Sometimes you took my side
Got stuck in the snow and muck
Survived some crazy rides
But we found a way around most times we couldn't drive straight through
Next time that I stall, I might put in a call to you

So goodbye, good luck and thank you my old friend
It's a crime we didn't have more time to spend
But I feel somehow that we'll meet up again
The road's just one big circle made of twists and bends
The road's just one big circle made of twists and bends
The road's just one big circle made of twists and bends, Amen!
