Just Like Old Times

A Coke machine glowin' through a parkin' lot

Call it a room with a view

The best night of pool that I ever shot

Made a lotta money too

A-lookin' for some company in the weekly "Scene"

I seen an ad that just had to be you

I ain't seen ya since New Orleans

Never did figure out where you run off to

I know I looked bad the last time you saw me

But lately I been doin' alright

Won a tournament last week in Oklahoma City

Hustled half of this town tonight

I got some cocaine if you want some

The best that I could find

And we could just sit here and talk all night

If that big ol' guy out in the car don't mind

Like old times

Screw off the top on a bottle of wine

Livin' out a different kind of American dream

Old times

Your goal was always the same as mine

You didn't wanna throw a fishin' line in that old main stream

No, I ain't expectin' anybody but you

I don't know who that could be at the door

But I'm pretty sure that you got a clue

And I betcha been to this hotel before

Put the you-know-what in the bathroom

But don't flush it down just yet

Put your pager in my suitcase, I'll get the window

You light a cigarette, it'll be like ...

Old times

Just like the old times

Livin' out a different kind of American dream

Old times

Your goal was always the same as mine

You didn't wanna throw a fishin' line in that old main stream

No sir, officer, you don't understand

We're just two old friends drinkin' wine

I'm sure she is, but that's not all she is

She is also an old friend of mine

I got her high school picture right here in my wallet

1982

No sir, officer, no offense taken

You have a good night, too"

Good thing we didn't throw this away

Baby, turn up that radio

I'm pretty sure that cop knew what we were up to

I guess he just decided to let us go

Aw, don't make such a thing about the picture

That was just somethin' I kept

Don't get all sentimental on me now, girl

You haven't even told me what your new name is yet

Like old times

This is just like the old times

Livin' out our own kind of American dream

Old times

Your goal was always the same as mine

You didn't wanna throw a fishin' line in that old main stream

And you didn't
