The Fryday Band

So many of the world's best bands started out as "My Best Friends"...

"My Best Friends" by The Fryday Band We met at Christmas because of our mothers, Playing games and drawing comic-book covers, Made a friendship strong and fitting, It's like we were brothers from the beginning. We've been through a lot together Summers up North and school in the winter Smokin' joints behind the garage Going out to parties in mom's Caravan Dodge Ya gotta play a role We're given similar souls [God gave us similar souls] I'll be there 'til the end ['til the end] That's what I say to my best friends. Now we're all grown up Out of college, work really sucks [Oh yeah] But I know we're still friends, That's what I'll say to the very end Ya gotta play a role We're given similar souls [God gave us similar souls] I'll be there 'til the end ['til the end] That's what I'll say to my best friends. [To my best friends... my best friends.] [To my best friends... my best friends.] And now as we grow old The phones grow so cold But I know we're still friends And I'm gonna love you 'til the very end Ya gotta play a role We're given similar souls [God gave us similar souls] I'll be there 'til the end ['til the end] That's what I say to my best friends. To my best friends... to my best friends.

That's one of The Fryday Band's oldest songs, here's a newer one that really tells a story:

"Skylines and Smiles" by The Fryday Band So ya hitched a ride to Birmingham off of Interstate 65, With a change of clothes, you hopped on down the line! And on the ride the whole way down, you sang out to the skies, "It's my life now, I got freedom by my side!" Though you miss the things you had Like a bedroom with a view, And you know you miss you're mama's cookin', too, And though your parents had said no To the things you thought were cool, You had to get out on your own, There was nothing left to do -- Skylines and smiles made this town! Early-morning breakfast wipes away our frowns, Tattoo'ed on faces without any homes, Nickels and dimes negotiate our thrones! And now that you got what you want, you can sing out to the gods, "It's my life now, I got freedom by my side!" Just like all the dreams of old that flow within your soul, They're yours to reap and they're yours to keep, And they're just as good as gold! Skylines and smiles made this town! Early-morning breakfast wipes away our frowns, Tattoo'ed on faces without any homes, Nickels and dimes negotiate our thrones! Once I go under With my drink, It's another morning spent over the sink... And another cup of coffee, Is given out for free, He's a nicer man, than I'll ever be! Skylines and smiles Paint this town, Early-morning breakfast Clears away our frowns, Tattoo'ed on faces Without any homes, And all those nickels and dimes Negotiate our thrones ! Oh, just look at me My little child, Don't you run away, now, Down the lonely mile, I will stay with you, To the end of my days, Don't you look around, now, Don't you run away! 'Cause you're my skyline, And my smile, Every day my child, I will stay with you, To the end of my days, Don't you look around, now, Don't you run away! Skyline -- you're mine...!
