I recall when I used to come home, never had a dime
Lord, I always had a good time
And I recall drinkin' wine with one of my friends
Lord, I can't go back again

Am I losin' my own way back home?
Am I losin' a good friend that I've known?
Am I losin'? Won't you tell me how I've sinned?
Why am I losin' one of my best friends?

And I recall this friend of mine I knew so well
It goes to show, Lord, you just can't tell
Now my friend won't talk to me, let me tell you why
He thinks I've changed because of a dollar sign

Am I losin' my own way back home?
Am I losin' a good friend that I've known?
Am I losin'? Won't you tell me how I've sinned?
Why am I losin' one of my good friends?

(It's so strange)
And it's so strange when you get just a little money
(It's so strange)
Your so called friends want to act just a little funny
Yes, they'll blame you

But I'm not the one that's here to blame
Its you, my friend, that has really changed
It's a shame, such a shame
Am I losin' once again?

Why these things happen, Lord, I don't understand
Lord, it can sure hurt a man
And why my friend won't take me as I am
'Cause your friend, Lord, is the most important thing

Am I losin' my own way back home?
Am I losin' a good friend that I've known?
Am I losin'? Won't you tell me how I've sinned?
Why am I losin one of my best friends?

Tell me, people, what good is that?
