      A 
Well, who wipes me off when I get gravy on my shirt 
    A                          E 
And who knows exactly where to kiss me when I hurt 
    A                    A7          D 
And who?d make love with me on satin sheets or in the dirt 
A        E                  A 
You babe, you're my bestest friend 
 
 
Who take me home when I get too drunk to dance 
And who bravely puts up with my uncles and my aunts 
And who discreetly whispers you forgot to zip your pants 
You babe, you're my bestest friend 

    D                                    A 
And who comes down and bails me out when I get in a jam 
    D                                A              E 
And helps me tell the police where I live and who I am 
    A           A7               D 
And who rubs my back when no one else could give a damn 
A        E                  A 
You babe, you're my bestest friend

Chorus 2: 
And who can be as gentle as a sparrow in my hand 
Meaner than a junk yard dog when she's fightin for her man 
And who's the only one I'll ever love and understand 
You babe, you're my bestest friend 
 
Talkin bout you babe, you're my bestest friend
