Do you mind if I sit down, am I keeping you from closing
I need a double shot of somethin' yeah just leave it open
Me, I'm from here, but I ain't been back lately
Not since my sister Jamie had her baby in the fall

Me and my friends used to come here in the 90s
Stupid kids with fake IDs, rebels without a cause
cin't it funny they're still lining up on Elm Street
Sometimes I miss those old dreams
Cheers to what could have been, but

I know better than to drag up memories
What's meant to be is meant to be
Like 18 leaving in a beat up car
cnd, time has a way of making hometowns disappear
Feels like I only show up here
For holidays and acts of God
Weddings, funerals, and empty hotel bars

Did you ever have somebody that burned you up completely
Be glad believe me, that's why I'm drinking now
Yea, I saw him standing with our old friends
cnd the girl I maybe could've been if I'd stuck around

I know better than to drag up memories
What's meant to be is meant to be
But try to tell that to a heart
cnd, time has a way of making hometowns disappear
Feels like I only show up here
For holidays and acts of God
Weddings, funerals, and empty hotel bars

Guess I'll call it a night, cause I got an early morning
If you're feeling lonely I'm in room 128
I could use somebody, that ain't his body
I know I'm probably just putting off the pain

I know better than to drag up memories
What's meant to be is meant to be
Tomorrow I'll pack up my car
cnd all those regrets they'll be in my rearview mirror
I'll see the bigger picture but tonight's the hardest part of
Weddings, funerals, and empty hotel bars
Weddings, funerals, and empty hotel bars
