[Verse 1]
D D A A
Me and JB and Sonny, we grew up on the buddy plan
A A
Weren't we some bad mothers, closer than brothers
A D
Had a rocking little three-piece band
G D
Yeah we wrote a lot of songs about women
G A
Then we tried to sing them pretty for the girls
A A
Pushing everything we did to the limit
G - A D D
Living right out on the edge of the world
[Verse 2]
D D
I recall on summer night at a party
A A
We were sophomores hanging out by the lake
A A
I got off on some wine with a waitress
A D
Sonny had a girlfriend that just couldn't wait
G D
JB hooked up around midnight
G A
With an ugly girl from up in the city
A A
He downed every can of beer in the cooler
G - A D
Just trying to drink that poor thing pretty
[Chorus]
Bm A
Hey me and the boys we made a lot of noise
G D
And we, sang all our songs for free
E E
We partied through college, acquired some knowledge
G A
Never did get a degree
D - A Bm - F#m
We did it our way looking back on the good days
G E
There's still not a lot I regret
G D A D D
Nights I can't remember, friends I'll never forget
[Verse 3]
D D A A
I grew up and got married, took a job with the FPL
A A
Sonny's got a good life, a baby and a good wife
A D
And everyday he carries the mail
G D
JB is a cross-country trucker
G A
And he called last night from South Carolina
A A
He said I've fallen in love with a waitress
G - A D D
That I met at a Waffle House diner
[Bridge]
C D
He said the years seem to roll on faster
C D
Than they did back when we were kids
C D
Man we need us a break from the grindstone
E A A*
That's exactly what we did
[Verse 4]
D D
We put in a phone call to Sonny
A A
Then we stayed out all night long
A A
We drank a few cold ones, and told a few old ones
G - A D
And sang another verse to the song
[Chorus]
Bm A
Yeah we were the boys who made a lot of noise
G D
And we, sang all our songs for free
E E
We partied through college, acquired some knowledge
G A
Never did get a degree
D - A Bm - F#m
We did it our way looking back on the good days
G E
There's still not a lot I regret
G D A D
There's some nights I can't remember, with friends I'll never forget
G D A D
All those nights I can't remember, friends I'll never forget
