Greg Brown - Famous friends

My famous friends don't ever write me any letters But I can tell they're almost always doin' better I see their names in magazines They talk about their big-ass scenes My famous friends ain't really my friends at all.My famous friends I mostly knew when we were young Oh, but I could tell even then they'd soon be gone They weren't happy with their deal They wanted fame to feel more real They changed their names, I wonder if their heart's the same.Oh, my famous friends, if you should ever hear this song Don't try to get in touch with me, it's been too long Count your money, fix your chins Clean up, find god, and get more thin I've got some friends that love me good, and they ain't famous.I've got some friends, I love 'em good, and they ain't famous.
