Just Like Old Times

Just Like Old Times - Todd Snider

There's a Coke machine glowin' through the parking lot

Call it a room with a view

Best night of pool that I ever shot

I made a lot of money too

I was looking for some company

In the weekly Scene

I seen an ad it just had to be you

I hadn't seen you since New Orleans

Never did figure out where you ran off to

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 coc*ine if you want some

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

Like old times

Screw off the top on a bottle of wine

Living out a different 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

You know I ain't expecting 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'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

Old times

Just like the old times

Living out a different 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

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

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

But that was just something I kept

But don't get all sentimental on me now girl

You haven't even told me what your new name is yet

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 and you didn't
