Few Good Friends

By now, I should be three hours down the interstate
They talked me into stay one more night to celebrate
It's hard to believe the boys are raisin' a drink 'cause Jimmy's 24
It's rare that we're all in the same place anymore

Well, tomorrow night it's back to the grind
I got a downtown show in the Fort Worth lights
Singin' these songs to make sure the bills get paid

When the crowds go home
When the last note plays
When the lights go out
On an empty stage

It don't matter (it don't matter)
How far I go, oh, or how long it's been
If I've got a back porch waiting at home
And a few good friends

Everybody's tryin' to find their place here in the real world
Some still raisin' hell, some settled down with a good girl
Yeah, we're talkin' gettin' rich, payin' bills, buyin' cars and fallin' in love
Acting like we know, but we're all still just growin' up

Well, tomorrow night it's back to the grind
I got a downtown show in the Birmingham lights
Singin' these songs to make sure the bills get paid

But when the crowds go home
When the last note plays
When the lights go out
On an empty stage

Nah, it don't matter (it don't matter)
How far I go, oh, or how long it's been
If I've got a back porch waiting at home
And a few good friends

Just string lights hangin' over some two-by-fours
Funny how the little things turn into so much more
Yeah, the stories stay the same, the world fades away
Laughter's loud and the drinks are cold
They're the spoke in the wheel that keeps me rollin' down the road

But when the crowds go home
When the last note plays
When the lights go out
On an empty stage

It don't matter (it don't matter)
How far I go, oh, or how long it's been
'Cause I've got a back porch waiting at home
And a few good friends

Long as I've got a few good friends
As long as I've got a few good friends (oh, and a few good)
Long as I've got a few good friends
As long as I've got a few good friends
Long as I've got a few good friends (yeah, a few good friends)
As long as I've got a few good friends (few good friends)
Long as I've got a few good friends
As long as I've got a few good friends
