Story Behind The Song

Hanging out with guys I have known for almost 50 years and reminisching about growing up in the 70's and skipping school to hang out with my buddies at the local billiard hall.

Song Description

Story of a group of friends who have known each other for almost 50 years. Living through the 70s, skipping school, hanging out at the pool hall and the local diner; debating "the British Invasion or the new Hard Rock", growing up and still hanging out together. Still jamming and doing things together.

Lyrics

PARTNERS IN CRIME

Going to Rosie's: shoot a game of pool
Had to skip another boring day at school
Met the guys in the parking lot
It was a close one, we almost got caught

Laughed all the whole way to the billiard hall
Made a bunch of jokes about the close call
Pushing and shoving our way up the street
Rolling up our sleeves in the melting heat

Chorus
It was the summer of '73
Just a bunch of kids who lived to be free
Passing around a cigarette
Hooting and hollering at the blond in the vette

The years have passed and Rosie's shut down
We're a whole lot older and we've all moved uptown
Getting together nearly every week
Sometimes skipping work just so we can meet

We love to talk about the good old days
Acapulco Gold and Purple Haze
Hanging around at the Sit 'n Eat
The British Invasion or a Hard Rock Beat


We eased our way into the billiard hall
Tony set the rack up and Donny hit the balls
We played right through our dinner time
I love those guys, my Partners in Crime.

Chorus
It was the summer of '73
Just a bunch of kids who lived to be free
Passing around a cigarette
Hooting and hollering at the blond in the vette

We eased our way into the billiard hall
Tony set the rack up and Donnie hit the balls
We played right through our dinner time
I love those guys, My Partners In Crime

Solos

Ohhh,
It was the summer of '73
Just a bunch of kids who lived to be free
Passing around a cigarette
Hooting and hollering at the blond in the vette

We'll do a little jammin' on a Wednesday night
Or maybe watch us some pay-per-view fight
Married with kids in a different time,
But I still love those guys, My Partners in Crime

It was the summer of '73
Just a bunch of kids who lived to be free
Passing around a cigarette
Hooting and hollering at the blond in the vette

e eased our way into the billiard hall
Tony set the rack up and Donnie hit the balls
We played right through our dinner time
I love those guys, My Partners In Crime
