Friday Nights
It wasn’t that long ago
I’d simply just go with the flow
Always out on a Friday night
No specific destination in sight
My friends & I would have a blast
Oh the memories of days gone past
Getting together at the end of each week
My group of friends, we were unique
It didn’t matter where we went
It always ended up a fun event
We’d dance and drink and laugh out loud
We did things that really weren’t allowed
We took some risks, it wasn’t smart
But nothing could tear us apart
We’d sing “Paradise by the Dashboard” Lights
Driving around, taking in all the sights
Shouting “Highway To Hell,” AC/DC would be proud
No, we weren’t shy, we all sang aloud
Rocking the lil Chevette up on two wheels
Just to see how awesome it feels
Our energy level was really high
We were buzzed, no wonder why
“Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” is one that we’d scream
It appears we had a theme
No matter what song we seemed to yell
We had a lot of fun as you can tell
I guess it was just a matter of time
We were no longer in our prime
Has it really been twenty plus years
Since I was out there chugging beers
Some where along the line
My oomph began to decline
Now I'm here watching Nancy Grace
Comfortable in my little space
Slowly getting ready for bed
At a time when I used to go out instead
Friday nights have changed for sure
They don’t have the same ole lure
I wish I could bring them back somehow
But I think I’ll say goodnight for now.
