Me and JB and Sonny, we grew up on the buddy plan 

Weren't we some bad mothers, closer than brothers 
                                 D 
Had a rockin' little three-piece band 
        G                          D                           
Yeah we wrote a lot of songs about women 
        G                                A 
Then we tried to sing 'em pretty for the girls 

Pushin' everythin' we did to the limit 
       G                A           D 
Livin' right out on the edge of the world.

I recall on summer night at a party  
        A 
We were sophomores hangin' out by the lake 

I got off on some wine with a waitress 
            G                             D 
Sonny had a girlfriend that just couldn't wait 
 G                  D 
JB hooked up around midnight 
        G                        A 
With an ugly girl from up in the city 

He downed every can of beer in the cooler 
               G          A          D 
Just tryin' to drink that poor thing pretty. 
 

    Bm                 A 
Hey me and the boys we made a lot of noise 
        G                      D 
And we, sang all our songs for free 
   E 
We partied through college, acquired some knowledge 
D               A 
Never did get a degree 
D         Db              B           A 
We did it our way lookin' back on the good days 
        G                 E 
There's still not a lot I regret 
G              D        A                   D 
Nights I Can't Remember, Friends I'll Never Forget. 
 

D                                 A 
I grew up and got married, took a job with the FPL 

Sonny's got a good life, a baby and a good wife 
                            D 
And everyday he carries the mail 
 G                    D 
JB is a cross-country trucker 
       G                            A 
And he called last night from South Carolina 

He said I fallen in love with a waitress 
       G        A            D                          
That I met at a Waffle House diner. 
 

            C                     D 
He said the years seem to roll on faster 
          C                     D 
Than they did back when we were kids 
        C                        D 
Then we need us a break from the grindstone 
B                      A 
That's exactly what we did. 
 

   D 
We put in a phone call to Sonny 
        A 
Then we stayed out all night long 

We drank a few cold ones, then told a few old ones 
    D            A            D 
And sang another verse to the song. 
 

     Bm               A 
Yeah we were boys who made a lot of noise 
        G                      D 
And we, sang all our songs for free 
   E 
We partied through college, acquired some knowledge 
D               A 
Never did get a degree 
D         Db              B           A 
We did it our way lookin' back on the good days 
        G                 E 
There's still not a lot I regret 
             G              D        A                        D 
There's some Nights I Can't Remember, with Friends I'll Never Forget. 
          G              D        A                   D      A G D 
All those Nights I Can't Remember, Friends I'll Never Forget.
