Jody Jones is a dentist now Back there in our home town Is married to a real nice girl named Alice Nicky is in the family biz Couple of years and it will be all his Tommy Dean, he died last year in Dallas
These are the guys that I think of When I think back Yeah I think back on all of us
Nicky played a red guitar I was too young for the bars And we were gonna be big old stars by now Me and Tommy wrote some songs Play ’em loud and way too long And we all knew someday, someway, somehow
We would be big time Even though we play the dives And barely made it out alive We didn’t mind Big time We were broke as we could gets Sharing all our cigarettes and wine We never made a dime But we had a big time
It’s funny how time turns a page Memories turn gold with age Those crazy days just blazed with glory Well I was there by Tommy’s side Right before we said good bye Sharing all the laughter, tears and stories
No matter where that conversation went It would come around again Yeah come around again and again
