Few Good Friends

By now, I should be three hours down the interstate

They talked me into stay one more night to celebrate

It's hard to believe the boys are raisin' a drink 'cause Jimmy's 24

It's rare that we're all in the same place anymore

Well, tomorrow night it's back to the grind

I got a downtown show in the Fort Worth lights

Singin' these songs to make sure the bills get paid

When the crowds go home

When the last note plays

When the lights go out

On an empty stage

It don't matter (it don't matter)

How far I go, oh, or how long it's been

If I've got a back porch waiting at home

And a few good friends

Everybody's tryin' to find their place here in the real world

Some still raisin' hell, some settled down with a good girl

Yeah, we're talkin' gettin' rich, payin' bills, buyin' cars and fallin' in love

Acting like we know, but we're all still just growin' up

Well, tomorrow night it's back to the grind

I got a downtown show in the Birmingham lights

Singin' these songs to make sure the bills get paid

But when the crowds go home

When the last note plays

When the lights go out

On an empty stage

Nah, it don't matter (it don't matter)

How far I go, oh, or how long it's been

If I've got a back porch waiting at home

And a few good friends

♪

Just string lights hangin' over some two-by-fours

Funny how the little things turn into so much more

Yeah, the stories stay the same, the world fades away

Laughter's loud and the drinks are cold

They're the spoke in the wheel that keeps me rollin' down the road

But when the crowds go home

When the last note plays

When the lights go out

On an empty stage

It don't matter (it don't matter)

How far I go, oh, or how long it's been

'Cause I've got a back porch waiting at home

And a few good friends

Long as I've got a few good friends

As long as I've got a few good friends (oh, and a few good)

Long as I've got a few good friends

As long as I've got a few good friends

Long as I've got a few good friends (yeah, a few good friends)

As long as I've got a few good friends (few good friends)

Long as I've got a few good friends

As long as I've got a few good friends
