| Jody Jones is a dentist now
|
| Back there in our home town
|
| Is married to a real nice girl named Alice
|
| Nicky is in the family biz
|
| Couple of years and it will be all his
|
| Tommy Dean, he died last year in Dallas
|
| These are the guys that I think of
|
| When I think back
|
| Yeah I think back on all of us
|
| Nicky played a red guitar
|
| I was too young for the bars
|
| And we were gonna be big old stars by now
|
| Me and Tommy wrote some songs
|
| Play 'em loud and way too long
|
| And we all knew someday, someway, somehow
|
| We would be big time
|
| Even though we play the dives
|
| And barely made it out alive
|
| We didn’t mind
|
| Big time
|
| We were broke as we could gets
|
| Sharing all our cigarettes and wine
|
| We never made a dime
|
| But we had a big time
|
| It’s funny how time turns a page
|
| Memories turn gold with age
|
| Those crazy days just blazed with glory
|
| Well I was there by Tommy’s side
|
| Right before we said good bye
|
| Sharing all the laughter, tears and stories
|
| No matter where that conversation went
|
| It would come around again
|
| Yeah come around again and again |
