Just Like Old Times

A Coke machine glowin' through a parking lot
Call it a room with a view
Best night of pool that I ever shot
Beat a lot of money, too
Looking for some company in the weekly scene
I seen an ad, just had to be you
I ain't seen you 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've been doing 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
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
Living out a different kind of American dream
Old times
Your goal was always the same as mine
You didn't want to throw a fishing line in that old main stream
No, I ain't expecting 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 bet you been through 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
Living out a different kind of American dream
Old times
Your goal was always the same as mine
You didn't want to throw a fishing line in that old main stream
No, sir, officer you don't understand
We're just too old friends drinking 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
Oh, don't make such a thing about the picture
That's just 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
Living out our own kind of American dream
Old times
Your goal was always the same as mine
You didn't want to throw a fishing line in that old main stream
And you didn't
