Lyrics

Empty Beer Cans and Memories

Verse
Thinking about the times, we had, sitting in that old bar...
How I laugh to myself, how wild and crazy, we were.
Times were simple then, that's who we, were supposed to be...
We'd throw back a few, turn up the stereo, as loud as it could be.
Verse
Telling stories, on how, our lives use to be
We'd laugh till we cried, those memories, mean so much to me
Oh how I wish, I could have, those days back again
Throwing back a few, thinking how you, were my best friend
Chorus
Now I miss you my friend; wishing you were here with me.
It's a whiskey bent, and hell rising, leave a light, in the window, for me
It's a red hot, and righteous, It's she's got a ticket to ride..
Empty Beer cans, and memories, of you in my life
Lead
Verse
Talking to you, on the phone, never wanting to say goodbye
I tell those same old stories, about you and me, a thousand times
Times were happy then; I remember, how much fun it used to be
Now I throw back a few, turn up the stereo, and you're here with me
Chorus
Oh I miss you my friend, wishing you were here with me
It's yesterday, and long and winding road
Dusty cowboy boots, you wore, are still here with me
Empty beer cans, and memories, of you and me

This is a decent song, but there's not a lot happening here. I can tell the guitar playing is really solid. The singer can sing, but the captured performance here is not really doing it justice. I like the harmonies in the verses. The story in the song kind of reminds me of the Eagles and how they could put a picture in your head of what was happening in the song.

Really soulful piece. Has to be written from life experience. No other way this could be written. Song flows very nicely and the instrumentation works very nicely for this piece. Really good work.
