[Verse 1]
Old screen door bangs on a Friday night
Dust on my boots and the sign burned bright
Johnny’s got a cold one waiting by the tap
I trade a little change for a seat in the back
[Pre-Chorus]
We didn’t need much, just a place to land
A worn-out jukebox and a friend’s loose hand
[Chorus]
Here’s to the good old times
Chew highs and cheap red wine
Laughing like the world was ours
Staying out past closing hours
I’m still chasing that easy ride
With a little life’s high on the side
[Verse 2]
We’d stroll through the honch when the night turned warm
Past the tire shop and the thunderstorm
Mary wore blue, Ray wore black
Everybody knew which road led back
[Pre-Chorus]
The years moved on, but the feeling stayed
In every crooked deal and every promise made
[Chorus]
Here’s to the good old times
Chew highs and cheap red wine
Laughing like the world was ours
Staying out past closing hours
I’m still chasing that easy ride
With a little life’s high on the side
[Bridge]
Now the names are faded from the bathroom wall
But I can hear those old boots down the hall
Johnny still pours when the evening gets slow
And I still know the road where the good times go
[Final Chorus]
Here’s to the good old times
Chew highs and cheap red wine
Raise one up for the ones who stayed
And the wild little mess we made
I’m still walking with my head held high
Living every last mile of life’s high
[Outro]
At Johnny’s, when the workday’s done
Through the honch, beneath the setting sun
Good old times, don’t leave me behind
I carry that fire in this heart of mine
