Introduction:
D A
Me and JB and Sonny, we grew up on the buddy plan
Weren't we some bad mothers, closer than brothers
D
Had a rockin' little three-piece band
G D
Yeah we wrote a lot of songs about women
G A
Then we tried to sing 'em pretty for the girls
Pushin' everythin' we did to the limit
G A D
Livin' right out on the edge of the world.
D
I recall on summer night at a party
A
We were sophomores hangin' out by the lake
I got off on some wine with a waitress
G D
Sonny had a girlfriend that just couldn't wait
G D
JB hooked up around midnight
G A
With an ugly girl from up in the city
He downed every can of beer in the cooler
G A D
Just tryin' to drink that poor thing pretty.
Bm A
Hey me and the boys we made a lot of noise
G D
And we, sang all our songs for free
E
We partied through college, acquired some knowledge
D A
Never did get a degree
D Db B A
We did it our way lookin' back on the good days
G E
There's still not a lot I regret
G D A D
Nights I Can't Remember, Friends I'll Never Forget.

I grew up and got married, took a job with the FPL
Sonny's got a good life, a baby and a good wife

And everyday he carries the mail

JB is a cross-country trucker

And he called last night from South Carolina
He said I fallen in love with a waitress
G A D
That I met at a Waffle House diner.
C D
He said the years seem to roll on faster
C D
Than they did back when we were kids
C D
Then we need us a break from the grindstone
B A
That's exactly what we did.

We put in a phone call to Sonny

Then we stayed out all night long
We drank a few cold ones, then told a few old ones
D A D
And sang another verse to the song.
