Am I Losin'
Friendship's Dilemma: Am I Losing My Way?
Lyrics
I recall when I used to come home, never had a dime
Recalling a time when returning home without money was common
Lord, I always had a good time
Despite having no money, always enjoyed life
And I recall drinkin' wine with one of my friends
Remembering sharing wine with a friend
Lord, I can't go back again
Expressing inability to return to that past time
Am I losin' my own way back home?
Questioning if losing the way back home metaphorically
Am I losin' a good friend that I've known?
Questioning if losing a long-term friend
Am I losin'? Won't you tell me how I've sinned?
Asking about personal wrongdoing causing loss
Why am I losin' one of my best friends?
Confused about losing a close friend
And I recall this friend of mine I knew so well
Recollection of a well-known friend
It goes to show, Lord, you just can't tell
Implying unpredictability in relationships
Now my friend won't talk to me, let me tell you why
Explaining why the friend avoids communication
He thinks I've changed because of a dollar sign
Friend believes the singer has changed due to money
Am I losin' my own way back home?
Continuing to question personal direction
Am I losin' a good friend that I've known?
Concerned about losing a cherished friend
Am I losin'? Won't you tell me how I've sinned?
Seeking insight into potential mistakes made
Why am I losin' one of my good friends?
Distressed about losing a valuable friend
(It's so strange)
Expressing the strangeness of the situation
And it's so strange when you get just a little money
Commenting on changes when having money
(It's so strange)
Reiterating the oddity of altered behavior
Your so called friends want to act just a little funny
Noticing peculiar behavior in supposed friends
Yes, they'll blame you
Friends begin to blame the singer for changes
But I'm not the one that's here to blame
Asserting innocence, attributing change to the friend
Its you, my friend, that has really changed
Accusing the friend of true transformation
It's a shame, such a shame
Expressing regret over the situation
Am I losin' once again?
Questioning loss once more
Why these things happen, Lord, I don't understand
Expressing confusion over events
Lord, it can sure hurt a man
Reflecting on the pain caused by these events
And why my friend won't take me as I am
Asking why the friend cannot accept the singer's true self
'Cause your friend, Lord, is the most important thing
Stating the importance of friendship above all
Am I losin' my own way back home?
Reiterating doubts about the way back home
Am I losin' a good friend that I've known?
Repeating concerns about losing a close friend
Am I losin'? Won't you tell me how I've sinned?
Requesting insight into personal faults
Why am I losin' one of my best friends?
Reiterating distress over losing a dear friend
Tell me, people, what good is that?
Rhetorical question regarding the value of the situation
