As I sit in this smoky room the night about to end

I pass my time with strangers, but the bottle's my only friend

Remember when we used to park on Butler Street out in the dark

Remember when we lost the keys and you lost more than that in my back seat, believe it

Remember when we used to talk about busting out, we'd break their hearts.

Verse 2
Remember days of skipping school, racing cars and being cool,
With a six pack and a radio, we didn't need no place to go
Remember at the prom that night, you and me we had a fight,
But the band they played our favorite song and I held you in my arms so strong
We'd guess you'd say we used to talk about busting out we'd break their hearts
