Story Behind The Song
There are times when I get together with a couple of old friendss. We played together in rock bands many years ago, and have tried to keep in touch.
One of the last times we got together we told and retold the old stories. It was fun, but also sad to think of where we are now compared to the dreams of our youth
Song Description
Year have gone by and in a way passed them by. The fun and recklessness of youth is olny a memory. Their families long ago broke up, and tose memories are drowned out by another cold one.

Lyrics
Old friends finally getting together
telling tales on each other
reliving the past with another glass of wine
Old friends turning back the pages
talking about the bar rooms and stages
whre they played one-night stands
with their rock anad rtoll bands on the road
Now they can't remember the words they sang to the old songs
and they're still trying to figure out
just where it was that they went wrong
But here's to you old friend, we've done alright
that's what we're thinking tonight
Cause tonight we're finally getting together
we know it can't last forever
The hell raising ways of the rock and roll days live again
The kids are all grown and the girls that we married are long gone
So deal out the cards and let's pop the top on another cold one
And here's to you my friend, we've done alright
that's what we're thinking to night
Old fiends finally getting together
reliving the past with another glas of wine
