You Can't Make Old Friends - The Petersens (LIVE)

Here's our Kenny Rogers cover song, "You Can't Make Old Friends!" A duet he would sing with Dolly Parton. We received so many great suggestions, but this song just seemed to fit our band perfectly. We have also never ALL sang in a song before and it was honestly super fun. Thanks for watching!

►LYRICS - You Can't Make Old Friends
What will I do when you're gone?
Who's gonna tell me the truth?
Who's gonna finish the stories I start
The way you always do?

When somebody knocks at the door
Someone new walks in
I will smile and shake their hand
But you can't make old friends

You can't make old friends
Can't make old friends
It was you and me since way back when
But you can't make old friends

How will I sing when you're gone?
'Cause it won't sound the same
Who'll join in on those harmony parts
When I call your name?

You can't make old friends
You can't make old friends
It was me and you since way back when
You can't make old friends

When Saint Peter opens the gate
And you come walking in
I'll be there just waiting for you
'Cause you can't make old friends

When I'm out on the stage all alone
And I hear the music begin
We both know the show must go on
But you can't make old friends

You can't make old friends
You can't make old friends
And you and me will be young again
You can't make old friends

Yes me and you will be together again
'Cause you can't make old friends

*LYRICS - You Can't Make Old Friends*

What will I do when you're gone?
Who's gonna tell me the truth?
Who's gonna finish the stories I start
The way you always do?

When somebody knocks at the door
Someone new walks in
I will smile and shake their hand
But you can't make old friends

You can't make old friends
Can't make old friends
It was you and me since way back when
But you can't make old friends

How will I sing when you're gone?
'Cause it won't sound the same
Who'll join in on those harmony parts
When I call your name?

You can't make old friends
You can't make old friends
It was me and you since way back when
You can't make old friends

When Saint Peter opens the gate
And you come walking in
I'll be there just waiting for you
'Cause you can't make old friends

When I'm out on the stage all alone
And I hear the music begin
We both know the show must go on
But you can't make old friends

You can't make old friends
You can't make old friends
And you and me will be young again
You can't make old friends

Yes me and you will be together again
'Cause you can't make old friends

This performance by Julianne at 2:24, who begins her solo part here and all 3 siblings focus their eyes and hearts fully on her ... simply marvelous. I envy anyone who was allowed to grow up in such a wonderful family. Not to forget the mother's great and soverain contribution on bass.

[darlowmaxwell]

I love the way the sisters look at each other during songs.

[JuliannePetersen]

My face when Ellen told me we were putting a video of me in ripped jeans on the main channel: 0_0

[dponzi]

There is something special when Julianne and Emmitt sing together.

[goodolfashion]

I'm a little bit worried that when I finally drive to Missouri to see the Petersens I'm gonna cry the whole show 😂

[DaringToWealth]

I'm a 44 year old I cried listening to this. Sounds awesome

[gillesbisson]

One of the first song who make me a Petersens ' fan

[twhalen]

The young lady with the "violin" has a great voice.

[papatuck]

5 different voices---1 perfect harmony

[JerryGDawg]

When Julianne smiles the whole room lights up!!! 😊

[klaus-peterkalweit]

My sister suffers from covid. I even may not visit her because of quarantene. Music helps a troubled soul. Thank You!

[googoo-gjoob]

you know.... i just love everything about this family. Katie's fiddle is smooth. Matt's guitar is solid. 'get it' Mama is a lot of fun. Ellen's voice is incredible. Emmett is the icing on but when Julianne else drifts away. i truly dont believe she knows (and thats probably a good thing) how special is her gift.
_allll_ that is secondary. it is evident, the Holy SPIRIT is the wind beneath their wings.
thanks for sharing your

You can't make old friends but we can keep the old ones as I do... over fifty years of friendship still alive as ever... since we were kids in the same neighborhood... !!!

[goodolfashion]

So beautiful how everyone sings their lines and duets with someone else.. very moving!

[immaleaf]

It is really nice how everyone smiles when someone else sings. Great job everyone

[Spookdog]

This video finally nailed down who has the best and my favorite voice in the whoever is singing at the moment.

[paulk]

Kenny and Dolly will be happy with the way you have treated this outstanding song

[Impulses]

Now I just need to hear Mom sing & I'll have lived a life complete..

[DaroffApFire]

Julianne has such a unique and interesting voice signature and color.
