Lyric
Me and JB and Sonny, we grew up on the buddy planWeren’t we some bad mothers, closer than brothersHad a rockin’ little three-piece bandYeah we wrote a lot of songs about womenThen we tried to sing ’em pretty for the girlsPushin’ everythin’ we did to the limitLivin’ right out on the edge of the world.I recall on summer night at a partyWe were sophomores hangin’ out by the lakeI got off on some wine with a waitressSonny had a girlfriend that just couldn’t waitJB hooked up around midnightWith an ugly girl from up in the cityHe downed every can of beer in the coolerJust tryin’ to drink that poor thing pretty.Hey me and the boys we made a lot of noiseAnd we, sang all our songs for freeWe partied through college, acquired some knowledgeNever did get a degreeWe did it our way lookin’ back on the good daysThere’s still not a lot I regretNights I Can’t Remember, Friends I’ll Never Forget.I grew up and got married, took a job with the FPLSonny’s got a good life, a baby and a good wifeAnd everyday he carries the mailJB is a cross-country truckerAnd he called last night from South CarolinaHe said I fallen in love with a waitressThat I met at a Waffle House diner.He said the years seem to roll on fasterThan they did back when we were kidsThen we need us a break from the grindstoneThat’s exactly what we did.We put in a phone call to SonnyThen we stayed out all night longWe drank a few cold ones, then told a few old onesAnd sang another verse to the song.Yeah we were boys who made a lot of noiseAnd we, sang all our songs for freeWe partied through college, acquired some knowledgeNever did get a degreeWe did it our way lookin’ back on the good daysThere’s still not a lot I regretThere’s some Nights I Can’t Remember, with Friends I’ll Never Forget.All those Nights I Can’t Remember, Friends I’ll Never Forget.
