"Nights I Can't Remember, Friends I Can't Forget" Lyrics

Me and JB and Sonny
We grew up on the buddy plan
Weren't we some bad mothers
Closer than brothers
Had a rockin' little, three-piece band
Yeah, we wrote a lot of songs about woman
Then tried, we tried to sing 'em pretty for the girls
Pushing everything we did to the limit
Livin' right out on the edge of the world

I recall one summer night at a party
We were sophomores, hangin' out by the lake
I got off on some wine with a waitress
Sonny had a girlfriend that just couldn't wait
JB hooked up around midnight
With an ugly girl, from up in the city
He downed every can of beer in the cooler
Just tryin' to drink that poor thing pretty

Hey, me and the boys, we made a lot of noise
And we sang all our songs for free
We partied through college, acquired some knowledge
Never did get a degree
We did it our way, looking back on the good days
There's still not a lot I regret
And it's nights I can't remember
With friends I'll never forget

Well, I grew up and got married
Took a job with the FPL
Sonny's got a good life, a baby and a good wife
And everyday he carries the mail
JB is a cross-country trucker
Oh, he called last night from South Carolina
He said, I've fallen in love with a waitress, boys
I met at a Waffle House diner

The years seem to roll on faster
Than they did, back when we were kids
We need us a break, from the grindstone
And that's exactly what we did

We put in a phone call to Sonny
And we stayed out all night long
We drank a few cold ones, and told a few old ones
And sang another verse to the song

Said, we were the boys, who made a lot of noise
And we sang all of our songs for free
Just partied through college, acquired some knowledge
Never did get a degree
We did it our way, looking back on the good days
There's still not a lot I regret
Nights I can't remember
Friends I'll never forget
All those nights I can't remember
Friends I'll never forget
