Way Back When

Verse 1

Acoustic guitar and voice

Got a text from Jimmy late last nightSaying all the boys are proudThey still play my stuff down at Lou'sOn the jukebox by the pool tableI'm in a hotel twenty floors up

Pre-Chorus

And I'd trade it all tonightFor just one more cheap beer with you

Chorus

You knew me way back whenI was broke and too loudSleeping in a borrowed vanYou knew me way back when

Verse 2

Jimmy's got a baby girl nowDanny's working nights down at the plantI missed the wedding and the funeralThey never held it against me once

Pre-Chorus

And I'd trade it all tonightFor just one more cheap beer with you

Chorus

Electric guitar and drums enter

You knew me way back whenI was broke and too loudSleeping in a borrowed vanYou knew me way back when

Bridge

Voice alone, cracking

When they all forget my nameI know where I'm coming home

Final Chorus

Key change, full band, a long held high note

You knew me way back whenI was broke and too loudSleeping in a borrowed vanYou knew me way back whenYou knew me way back whenI was broke and too loudSleeping in your borrowed vanYou knew me way back when
