You Know Who Your Friends Are

If the radiator is boiling and you've got a sick car
And the sun blazes so hot it boils the roadway tar
And you are stuck by the highway and from home you are far
It's in moments like these you know who your friends are.

Some people ignore you as they are driving by
If you were dying on the road-side they'd leave you to die
You raise your hand for them to stop but they don't look your way
The karma that yours will be theirs too one day.

And others whilst driving by laughing at you
When you are in trouble your friends are so few
And when you show them you're angry they laugh all the more
What goes around will come around you've heard that before.

But one fellow stops in a shabby old van
And he introduces himself to you saying I will help you man
And to tow you to the nearest garage he goes out of his way
And for his act of kindness he will not accept pay.

Your car radiator boiling and you are in despair
And motorists drive by leaving you standing there
But one stops to help you in a shabby old car
When you are in trouble you know who your friends are.
