There's 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 hadn't 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

It's the best that I could find [alternate lyric: I've 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 don't 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 didn't want to throw a fishing line in that old main stream


You know I ain't expecting anybody but you

I don't know who this could be at the door

But I'm pretty sure that you got a clue

And I bet that you've been to 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 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


No sir officer you don't understand

We're just two old friends drinkin' wine

I'm sure she is but that's not all she is

She's 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

Don't make such a thing about that picture

That was just something I kept

Don't get all sentimental on me now, girl

You haven't 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 didn't want to throw a fishing line in that old main stream
