Just Like Old Times Todd Snider
Album-Live With The Devil You Know At Grimey's
[D]There's a coke machine glowin through the parking lot
[G]Call it a room with a view
[D]This was the best night of pool that I ever shot
[G]I made a lot of money too
[G]I was looking for some com[A7]pany
[G]In the weekly scene
[A7]Seen an ad it just had to be [G]you
[A7]I hadn't seen you since New Orleans
[A7]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 doing 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 the car don't mind
Chorus:
[G]Like old tim[D]es
[A7]Screw off the top on a bottl[D]e of wine
[G]Living out our own kin[D]d of American[A7] dream
[G]Old time[D]s
[A7]Your goal was always the sam[D]e as mine
[G]You didn't want to throw a [D]fishing line in th[A7]at old main str[D]eam
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
Chorus:
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
Bridge:
[Em]No sir officer you don't understand
[A7]We're just two old friends drinkin' wine
[Em]I'm sure she is but that's not all she is
[A7]She's also an old friend of mine
[Em]I got her high school picture right here in my wallet - 1[A7]982
[Em]No sir officer no offense taken
[A7]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
Chorus:
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
