Lyrics

hello old friend
you've been a long time traveling
let's sit by the fire
toss some old memories 'round
'bout all the old friends that you and I are outlasting
we'll toast them all
drag the old bottle down.

(chorus)
let's drink to the time we've had to live
and the faith to help us die
the love we've had to give
and the dreams that made us try
let's drink to the races we've won
and we'll drink just for fun
drag the old bottle down and pass it around

how often I'd wished I'd been the one who had traveled
'bout as often as you'd wished that you'd settled down
the thing I'd not trade as these years have unraveled
are the times we've spent passing this old bottle 'round

(chorus)
lets drink to the time we've had to live
and the faith to help us die
the love we've had to give
and the dreams that made us try
let's drink to the races we've won
and we'll drink just for fun
drag the old bottle down and pass it around
