lyrics

I felt a tap on my shoulder
Heard brother how have you been
Maybe you don’t remember me
But we used to hang out back when

He said I ran into Danny
And he was saying
That you moved away
But you’re still out there playin’
Good for you
Wish I was still playing too

We ran wild back in the day
I wish I had back
A small piece of what I pissed away
The cigarettes, drugs
All of the drinking
Every rock and roll cliche
Without ever thinkin’ that we
Might one day grow old

He said things ain’t been that great
But I’m okay, I guess
Things fell apart for a while there
I was a mess
He said I burned all my bridges
Pawned all my gear
I’ve been told that I’m lucky
To still be here
Not sure that’s true
Still I’m happy for you

- CHORUS -

Talked about old friends
Dead and gone
We both grew quiet
As we realized
That the list
Was heartbreakingly long

He said brother
you sure are lucky
You wrote that song
Who would have thought
That cow would give milk this long
Then he stared off into space
Before turning to go
He said someday brother
I’ll check out a show
We both knew
That that wasn’t true

We ran wild…
