For anyone who has memories they can't remember...
My Kind Of Guys
I went out drinkin’ all night long with all of my friends
Knocked back about a half-bottle of Jack
A few Jager bombs and tequila shots somethin’ else but I forgot
Tried to give my liver a heart attack
Somebody was talkin’ somethin’ ‘bout somebody’s sister
All the girls we knew and ones we wish we knew
All the times we all inhaled and almost ended up in jail
The trip we took to
We get high and the stories fly
If it ain’t the truth that's alright
We all remember the same lies and that’s why
They’re my kind of guys
Everybody knows what everybody else is thinkin’
‘Cause everybody knows everybody else’s past
If somebody throws a fit we just say get over it
And set him up with another glass
Nobody worries if somebody is overserved
We all know it’s gonna happen more often than not
If somebody tries to amuse we don’t give ‘em abuse for havin’ too much booze
We buy him another shot
We get high and the stories fly
If it ain’t the truth that's alright
We all remember the same lies and that’s why
They’re my kind of guys
---
We never go out without bein’ ready for all matter of circumstance
Plenty of money for cab fair and maybe a lap dance
A bail bondsman on speed dial a lawyer too in case we gotta go to trial
‘Cause you know what almost happened to Bobby down in
---
All the problems of the world we all agree
Are not that difficult to solve
Wherever there’s a campaign of fear just send ‘em the champagne of bottled beers
And pretty soon the only thing they’ll be throwin’ is bowling balls
We get high and the stories fly
If it ain’t the truth that's alright
We all remember the same lies and that’s why
They’re my kind of guys
When we can see through bloodshot eyes
Just about as clear as those three blind mice
Then we all go to George Webb for burgers and fries and that’s why
They’re my kind of guys
My kind of guys
My kind of guys
