I thought the melody might make someone smile
a recollection of a good time sometime somewhere
somebody might appreciate it
a younger time, a younger place in a younger world
up at that place on grant avenue you remember
hanging out hanging in hanging on
bus downtown bus uptown bus crosstown
in the rain in the snow
not good for us what did we know?
learned a lot - saw a lot - forgot a lot
some of them folks ain’t here no more
think about them from time to time
brings a smile to this weary mind
life goes on though don’t it? life goes on
even loved ones
some days don’t think about them at all
lose myself in the bars
lose my head in the sound
slowly melt into the ground
staring into space listening to the pound
ain’t got much more to hang on
it’s not the same anymore
let me have one more happy hour
one last ready- one last set- one last go around
