- Just Like Old Times

 

Coke machine glowin' through a parking lot.
You called it a room with a view.
It was the best night of pool that I ever shot,
And I made a lot of money too.
Looking for some company in the weekly scene,
And that just had to be you.
I ain't seen you since new Orleans and never did figure out where you ran off to.
I know I looked back last time you saw me but lately I?ve been doing alright.
Won a tournament last week in Oklahoma city, I sold half of this town tonight.
I got some cocaine, if you want some.
The best that I could find.
Figured you and me could sit here and talk all night,
If that big ole' guy out in the car don't mind.

Like old times.
Screw off the top on a bottle of wine
Livin' out our own kind of American dream,
Like old times.
Your goal was always the same as mine.
You didn?t want to throw a fishin' line in that old main stream.

I aint expecting anybody but you.
I don?t know who this could be at the door.
Well, I?m pretty sure you've got a clue
And I?ll bet you've been to this hotel before.
Well, you put the "you-know-what" in the bathroom but,
Don't flush it down just yet.
We'll put your pager in your suit case,
And I'll get the window while you light a cigarette.

It'll be like old times.
Just like the old times.
Livin' out our own kind of American dream,
Like old times.
Your goal was always the same as mine.
You didn't want to throw a fishing line in that old main stream.

No sir officer, you don't understand, we're just two old friends drinking wine.
I?m sure she is but that's not all she is, she's also an old friend of mine.
I got her ole' high school picture right here in my wallet,
From 1982.
No sir officer, no offense taken.
You have a good night too.

Good thing we didn't throw this here away.
Baby, turn up the radio.
I?m sure the cop knew what we were up to, I guess he just decided to let us go.
Oh, don't make such a big deal about the picture.
That was just something I kept.
Hey, don't get all sentimental on me now, girl.
You haven't even told me what your new name is yet.

Old times,
Just like the old times.
Livin' out our own kind of American dream,
Like old times.
Your goal was always the same as mine.
You didn't want to throw a fishing line in that old main stream.

And you didn?t.
