Nights I Can't Remember, Friends I'll Never Forget

Me and JB and Sonny, we grew up on the buddy plan Weren't we some bad mothers, closer than brothers Had a rockin' little three-piece band Yeah we wrote a lot of songs about women Then we tried to sing 'em pretty for the girls Pushin' everythin' we did to the limit Livin' right out on the edge of the world.

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 That I met at a Waffle House diner. He said the years seem to roll on faster Than they did back when we were kids Then we need us a break from the grindstone That's exactly what we did.

Yeah we were boys who made a lot of noise And we, sang all our songs for free We
