lyrics

Here we are my friend, a vanishing breed
Kissed by the curse of then case we plead
To follow the truth and follow your heart
And never let a good time tear us apart

Well the walking dead they rule the world
If you’re breathin’ you know what I mean
Don’t know how they can live with the secrets they keep
If only they was dogs we could put them to sleep

So turn off your damn television
And sing like a man on a mission

One more glass for the boys in the band
Don’t let this time go to waste
It’s a night that’ll turn some boy to a man
And he’ll always remember the taste
And the friends who are keepin’ the faith

Now that girl knows just what she wants in a man
The best damn provider she can stand
If you got you a house and a car and a cow
And all the cash that the law will allow
If she hits you with something strong
You can crawl back here where you belong

It’s one more glass for the boys in the band
Don’t let this time go to waste
It’s a night that’ll turn some boy to a man
And he’ll always remember the taste
And the friends who are keepin’ the faith

Now I got my ticket and I got my bail
Just in case we end up in the clink
It’s a grateful crowd that’ll sing us to jail
If we make ‘em all dance they might buy us a drink
If the wind turns cold tonight out on the sea
Say a prayer for the man who’s prayin’ for me

Well it’s one more glass for the boys in the band
Don’t let this time go to waste
It’s a night that’ll turn some boy to a man
And he’ll always remember the taste
And the friends who are keepin’ the faith
