  • Sara, I know it's been 'bout thirty years since I heard from you
    Are you still down in Fort Lauderdale?
    And does your daddy still think I'm bad for you?
    Young, young hearts never grow old
    Never get tired, but I'm not lookin' for love, oh no

    It don't matter if you're married
    It don't matter if you're settled down
    It don't matter if you're
    Five kids deep on a dead-end street in the middle of town
    I don't wanna be your lover
    I don't wanna be your man
    I just wanna sit and talk to you 'til the day is through
    Like we're thirteen again
    I ain't lookin' for a one-night
    I'm just lookin' for a friend

    Sara, somehow it didn't feel right for me to call you up
    And I've been tryin' for a long time, I know
    But, "Hello, how you doin'?" just didn't seem good enough
    Torn apart when were young
    We were just children, has time changed who you are? If so

    It don't matter if you're married
    It don't matter if you're settled down
    It don't matter if you're
    Five kids deep on a dead-end street in the middle of town
    I don't wanna be your lover
    I don't wanna be your man
    I just wanna sit and talk to you 'til the day is through
    Like we're thirteen again
    I ain't lookin' for a one-night
    I'm just lookin' for a friend now

    Well, lately, I have been thinkin' about you
    Watching the world as this life passes by
    So if you hear me, my old friend Sara

    It don't matter if you're married
    It don't matter if you're settled down
    It don't matter if you're
    Five kids deep on a dead-end street in the middle of town
    I don't wanna be your lover
    I don't wanna be your man
    I just wanna sit and talk to you 'til the day is through
    Like we're thirteen again
    I ain't lookin' for a one-night
    I'm just lookin' for a friend now

    I ain't lookin' for a one-night
    I'm just lookin' for my friend, oh Writer/s: Darius Rucker, Edward Christopher Sheeran, Joel Crouse, Kyle Anthony Rife
