Lyrics
Do you mind if I sit down?
Am I keeping you from closing?
I need a double shot of something
Yeah, just leave it open
Me, I'm from here
But I ain't been back lately
Not since my sister Jamie
Had her baby in the fall
Me and my friends
Used to come here in the '90s
Stupid kids with fake IDs
Rebels without a cause
Ain't it funny
They're still lining up on Elm Street
Sometimes I miss those old dreams
So cheers to what could've been
But I know better than to drag up memories
What's meant to be is meant to be
Like eighteen and leaving in a beat-up car
And time has a way of making hometowns disappear
Feels like I only show up here
For holidays and acts of God
Weddings, funerals, and empty hotel bars
Did you ever have somebody
That burned you up completely?
Be glad, believe me
That's why I'm drinking now
Yeah, I saw him
Standing with our old friends
And the girl I maybe could've been
If I'd stuck around
But I know better than to drag up memories
What's meant to be is meant to be
But try to tell that to a heart
And time has a way of making hometowns disappear
Feels like I only show up here
For holidays and acts of God
Weddings, funerals, and empty hotel bars
Guess I'll call it a night
'Cause I've got an early morning
If you're feeling lonely
I'm in room 128
I could use somebody
That ain't his body
I know I'm probably
Just putting off the pain
But I know better than to drag up memories
What's meant to be is meant to be
Tomorrow, I'll pack up my car
And all those regrets
They'll be in my rearview mirror
And I'll see the bigger picture
But tonight's the hardest part
