Theres a Coke machine glowin through the parking lot
Call it a room with a view
This was the best night of pool that I ever shot
I made a lot of money too
I was looking for some company
In the weekly Scene
Seen an ad it just had to be you
I hadnt seen you since New Orleans
And I never did figure out where you ran off to
I know I looked bad the last time you saw me
But lately I been doin all right
I won a tournament last week in Oklahoma City
Hustled half of this town tonight
I got some cocaine if you want some
Its the best that I could find [alternate lyric: Ive also got a bottle of wine]
Hey we could just sit here and talk all night
If that big ol guy out in the car dont mind
Like old times
Screw off the top on a bottle of wine [alternate lyric: Just like the old times]
Living out our own kind of American dream
Old times
Your goal was always the same as mine
You didnt want to throw a fishing line in that old main stream
You know I aint expecting anybody but you
I dont know who this could be at the door
But Im pretty sure that you got a clue
And I bet that youve been to this hotel before
Put the "you-know-what" - In the bathroom but
Dont flush it down just yet
Put your pager in my suitcase
Ill get the window
You light a cigarette
Itll be like...
Old times
Just like the old times
Living out our own kind of American dream
Old times
Your goal was always the same as mine
You didnt want to throw a fishing line in that old main stream
No sir officer you dont understand
Were just two old friends drinkin wine
Im sure she is but thats not all she is
Shes 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 didnt throw this away, baby
Turn up that radio
Im pretty sure that cop knew what we were up to
I guess he just decided to let us go
Dont make such a thing about that picture
That was just something I kept
Dont get all sentimental on me now, girl
You havent even told me what your new name is yet
Old times
Just like the old times
Living out our own kind of American dream
Old times
Your goal was always the same as mine
You didnt want to throw a fishing line in that old main stream
