Hey old friend, it's been such a long time | |
Since I saw your smilin' face pressed against my window pane | |
Though it's the middle of the night | |
And we were racin' the light of the mornin' | |
All those new thoughts dawnin' | |
About the wrong and the right | |
We spent our money so fine | |
The girls were standing in line | |
Every other night | |
Was always the same | |
Paradise without any shame | |
We'd stay up all night | |
Tryin' to find just the right rhymes | |
And we were fightin' the good fight | |
Hangin' on to the good times | |
Jaunita she's a little bit older now | |
Spotcheck Billy looks just the same | |
Three card monte on the boulevard | |
With mirrors on his shoes | |
And I just have to laugh | |
When I recall the time down in New Orleans | |
Don't ya know | |
Rained us out of an indoor show | |
We spent our money so fine | |
The girls were standin' in line | |
Down in the quarters at lucky Pierre's | |
A time of our life without any cares | |
We'd stay up all night | |
Tryin' to find just the right rhymes | |
And we were fightin' the good fight | |
Hangin' on to the good times | |
Yes old friend we had some times | |
And later on the moon declined | |
To shine its light so benevolently | |
It's grace withheld from our company | |
and though we went our own ways | |
We couldn't escape from where we came | |
So we find ourselves back at the table again | |
Tellin' stories of survivors and friends | |
We'd stay up all night | |
Tryin' to find just the right rhymes | |
And we were fightin' the good fight | |
Hangin' on to the good times | |
Up all night | |
Tryin' to find just the right rhymes | |
And we were fightin' the good fight | |
Hangin' on to the good times | |
Up all night | |
Tryin' to find just the right rhymes | |
And we were fightin' the good fight | |
Hangin' on to the good times |
