Turnpike Troubadours Just Like Old Times Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's a coke machine blowin' through a parkin' lot
Called it a room with a view
Was the best night of pool that I ever shot
Made a lot of money too
Lookin' for some company in the weekly Scene
Seen an ad that just had to be you
Ain't seen ya since New Orleans
Never did figure out where you run off to

[Verse 2]
I know I looked bad the last time you saw me
But lately I been doin' all right
Won a tournament last week in Oklahoma City
Hustled half of this town tonight
I got some cocaine if you want some
Best that I could find
We could just sit here and talk all night
If that big old guy out in your car don't mind

[Chorus]
Old times
Screw off the top on a bottlе of wine
Livin' out our own kind of American dream
Old timеs
Your goal was always the same as mine
You didn't wanna throw a fishin' line in that old main stream

[Verse 3]
You know I ain't expectin' anybody 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 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

[Chorus]
Old times
Just like old times
Livin' out our own kind of American dream
Old times
Your goal was always the same as mine
You didn't wanna throw a fishin' line in that old main stream

[Bridge]
No sir officer you don't understand
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
Got her high school picture right here in my wallet, 1982
No sir no offence taken, you have a good night too

[Verse 4]
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 the picture
That's just somethin' I kept
Don't get all sentimental on me now girl
You haven't even told me what your new name is yet

[Chorus]
Old times
Just like old times
Livin' out our own kind of American dream
Old times
Your goal was always the same as mine
You didn't wanna throw a fishin' line in that old main stream
And you didn't
