Just Like Old Times (Live)

[Verse 1]
There's a Coke machine glowing through the parking lot
Call that a room with a view
This was the best night of pool that I ever shot
I made a lot of money too
Looking for some company in the weekly "Scene"
Seen an ad, it just had to be you
Hadn't seen you since New Orleans
Never did figure out where you'd run off to

[Verse 2]
I know I looked bad last time that you saw me
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
Hey, we could just sit here and talk all night
If that big ol' guy out in your car don't mind

[Chorus]
Like old times
Screw off the top on a bottle of wine
Living out our own kind
Of American dream
Just like old times
Your goal was always the same as mine
You didn't want to throw your fishing line
In that old main stream

[Verse 3]
You know I ain't expecting anybody but you
I don't know who this could be at the door
I'm pretty sure that you've 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

[Chorus]
It'll be like old times
Just like the old times
Living out our own kind
Of American dream
Just like old times
Your goal was always the same as mine
You didn't want to throw your fishing line
In that old main stream

[Verse 4]
"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"

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 5]
It's a good thing we didn't throw this away
Baby, turn up the radio
I'm pretty sure those cops 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 was 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 the old times
Living out our own kind
Of American dream
Just like old times
Your goal was always the same as mine
You didn't want to throw your fishing line
In that old main stream

[Outro]
And you didn't
