Gregg Allman My Only True Friend with Lyrics in Description

Track 1 from his eighth and final solo album “Southern Blood” released in 2017 copyright Rounder Records. It was recorded in March, 2016 at Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama and released a few months after his death from liver cancer. The album consists of one original song and the rest are covers of songs that held deep meaning for him throughout his life. It received universal acclaim from critics, who called it exceptional and almost perfect. It’s an impressive farewell and shows that he was still at the top of his game despite his poor health, just like so many of the old bluesmen he admired and was inspired by in his early years. His cover of “Willin’” by Little Feat’s Lowell George, in particular, has an emotional impact on me. So here’s to the greatest white blues singer who ever lived and founding member of one of America’s greatest bands, that introduced the “Southern Rock” sound to a grateful world. Written by Gregg Allman & Scott Sharrard and produced by Don Was. RIP Gregory Lenoir Allman. Featuring:

You and I both know this river will surely flow to an end
Keep me in your heart and keep your soul on the mend
I hope you're haunted by the music of my soul when I'm gone
Please don't fly away and find you a new love
I can't face livin' this life alone
I can't bear to think this might be the end
But you and I both know the road is my only true friend

Another night alone but I see you in my dreams sometimes
No matter where I go, Lord knows, you were always on my mind

Yes, I hope you're haunted by the music of my soul when I'm gone
Please don't fly away and find you a new love
I just can't face livin' this life alone
I can't bear to think this might be the end
But you and I both know the road is my only true friend

Still on and on I roam, it feels like home is just around the bend
I got so much left to give but I'm runnin' out of time, my friend

I hope you're haunted by the music of my soul when I'm gone
Please don't fly away and find you a new love
I just can't face livin' this life alone
I can't bear to think this might be the end
But you and I both know the road is my only true friend
You and I both know the road is my only true friend
