Lyrics
I Miss My Boys
Witching hour
Wide-eyed and hazey
Used to be the time
When the night was getting' crazy
Lately I'm knowin' there's a truth I can't avoid
I miss my boys
Late night roadside
Love those Greasy spoons
Drive'n all night
And sleep'n past noon
Can't say where u were last night ,
But u sure did make some noise
I miss my boys
Bridge
Some days it feels like we could do it all again
Just as easy as callin' callin' up old friends
But if life is what happens when your makin' other plans
Let's toast the old times until we meet again....
5 a week or more
And the years get by u fast
Left behind you
Like a long forgotten cast
From some favorite movie
You' had no time to enjoy
But...I miss my boys
(solo section)
30 years gone
And the music still it plays
Had some magic once
When we ruled our younger days
Not too respectable
But man we were employed
I miss my boys
