lyrics

Pull up a chair, it’s just you and me
We’re drinking tonight like we’re still twenty-three
We can be young again and be home by ten
Only takes a few beers till we see
The people that we used to be

Let’s start with a round of Heineken Light
We gotta ease our way in
It’s been a while since we had a guy’s night
Mark, let the good times begin

I’ve got 5 in the jukebox
Pick a song you love
Anything by Dylan makes me smile
Let’s go talk to the girls at the end of the bar
Feels good to pretend for a while

Pull up a chair, it’s just you and me
We’re drinking tonight like we’re still twenty-three
We can be young again and be home by ten
Only takes a few beers till we see
The people that we used to be

I’m ready to drink something stronger than this
Whaddya say, let’s do a shot
Tequila or Whiskey, it don’t matter to me
I don’t get to do this a lot

Not long ago, I could run all night
With enough gas in my machine
These ladies are laughing at all of my jokes
Let’s stay here until 10:15

The bottle feels so good in my hand
Let’s keep going till one of us ain’t able to stand
Yes we can

Just pull up a chair, it’s just you and me
We’re drinking tonight like we’re still twenty-three
We can be young again like two single men
Who are careless and selfish and free
The people that we used to be

Jesus Christ Mark, look at the time
How’s it a quarter past two?
My wife’s probably thinks I’ve committed a crime
I’m sure your wife will kill you, too

These women wanna know why we gotta go
There’s more booze back their place
If we don’t leave now and make our way home
We never get to go home again
And the loneliness never ends
I don’t want to be twenty-three again

So let’s pay the tab, this one’s on me
We’re done for the night, we got somewhere to be
If I’m honest, my friend, we’re too old to pretend
No matter how hard we look we won’t see
The people that we used to be
