When you're down and troubled
And you need some loving care
And nothin', oh nothin' is goin' right
Just close your eyes and think of me
Yes, and soon I will be there
To brighten up, yeah, even your darkest night

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come runnin' to see you again
It's winter, spring, summer or fall
Really all you got to do is call
And I'll be there, yeah, yes I'll be there
You've got a friend

If the sky above you
Should turn dark and full of clouds
And that ol' north wind should begin to blow
Keep your head together
And call my name out loud
Soon you'll hear me knockin' on your door, your door, your door

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come runnin' to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you got to do is call
And I'll be there, yes I will

Now ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
When people can be so cold
They'll hurt you, yes, and desert you
Well, they'll take your soul if you let them
Oh, but don't you let them

You just call out my name, call it now
And you know wherever I am
I'll come runnin' just as fast as I can to see you again, oh yes
Don't you know about that
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call on me now
And I'll be there, yes I'll be there
You've got a friend

You've got yourself a friend

Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend

Walkin' and talkin' tonight here
Here we are at the Troubadour
We never thought we would do this anymore
But this was the place that opened the door for this
Thank you, thank you, thank you James

Ain't it good to know
You've got a friend
