Intro

(Verse1)

 My best friend Junior, he lives two trailers down

 His wife MaryLou she runs the Caberet in town

 They've got two kids, and they don't look like him

 He's a tractor tech, he's a redneck, now he's gettin drunk again

(Chorus)

 I'm talkin bout the good times, drinkin down the bad

 Tryin to remember all those crazy nights that we had

 Now I'm empty, I'm not sad

 Talkin bout the good times, drinkin down the bad

(Verse2)

 Miss Sara Ann Bakersmith, she was my girlfriend

 I took her top off for the first time at the drive-in

 You know those had to be the coolest things I'd seen

 She was passed around like a bottle of crown, but she was always sweet to me

(Chorus)

 I'm talkin bout the good times, drinkin down the bad

 Tryin to remember all those crazy nights that we had

 Now I'm empty, I'm not sad

 Talkin bout the good times, drinkin down the bad

(Verse3)

 Now Junior's Junior's kid, you know they call him "The Duece"

 And his grandma she drinks vodka in her orange juice

 She sells pot to kids, and she just got out of jail

 Junior had to sell his new John-boat just to help to raise the bail.

(Chorus)

 I'm talkin bout the good times, drinkin down the bad

 Tryin to remember all those crazy nights that we had

 Now I'm empty, I'm not sad

 Talkin bout the good times, drinkin down the bad

(Verse4)

 Now my name's Carl Wayne, I've had two DUI's

 Three years ago they took my license I don't drive

 These boots can get me there, I live just down the street

 It's last call, it's too far to crawl, now help me to my feet

(Chorus)

 I'm talkin bout the good times, drinkin down the bad

 Tryin to remember all those crazy nights that we had

 Now I'm empty, I'm not sad

 Talkin bout the good times, drinkin down the bad

(Outro)

 Just talkin bout the good times, drinkin down the bad

 Talkin bout the good times
