We got a quart of rum drank it all that day When the big gig come we were just to drunk to play Chorus Chorus Sometimes I can't believe those days are gone Most of my friends back then have moved along One's in Hollywood one's a millionaire Some are gone for good some still livin' here Me I'm just the same lost in a crowd Lookin' for the rain in a thunder cloud I have moved around but it don't matter though One thing I have found there are just two ways to go It all comes down to livin' fast or dyin' slow Chorus Chorus Seems like yesterday, just like yesterday |
