Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sittin' at the bar last night
Just like any other time
John's been quiet for a while
Somethin' on his mind
Been friends since we were kids
Always had each other's backs
[Pre-chorus]
The bartender pours another round
And John starts to speak at last
[Chorus]
He told me what he needed to say
Been holding it in for years
John told me he's gay
And man, I'm still right here
Nothing's gonna change between us now
'Cause real friends, they don't walk away
[Verse 2]
Small town's got its ways
Of making people hide
But John ain't gonna fake it
Not anymore, not this time
I watch him breathe easier now
Like a weight's been lifted off
[Bridge]
Everyone's got their truth to tell
And tonight was John's turn
Some folks might not understand
But that ain't my concern
'Cause he's still my best friend
That's all that matters in the end
[Chorus]
He told me what he needed to say
Been holding it in for years
John told me he's gay
And man, I'm still right here
Nothing's gonna change between us now
'Cause real friends, they don't walk away
