Weddings, Funerals, and Empty Hotel Bars

Do you mind if I sit down, am I keeping you from closing

I need a double shot of somethin' yeah just leave it open

Me, I'm from here, but I ain't been back lately

Not since my sister Jamie had her baby in the fall

Me and my friends used to come here in the 90s

Stupid kids with fake IDs, rebels without a cause

Ain't it funny they're still lining up on Elm Street

Sometimes I miss those old dreams, cheers to what could have been, but

I know better than to drag up memories

What's meant to be is meant to be

Like 18 leaving in a beat up car

And, time has a way of making hometowns disappear

Feels like I only show up here

For holidays and acts of God

Weddings, funerals, and empty hotel bars

Did you ever have somebody that burned you up completely

Be glad believe me, that's why I'm drinking now

Yea, I saw him standing with our old friends

And the girl I maybe could've been if I'd stuck around

I know better than to drag up memories

What's meant to be is meant to be

But try to tell that to a heart

And, time has a way of making hometowns disappear

Feels like I only show up here

For holidays and acts of God

Weddings, funerals, and empty hotel bars

Guess I'll call it a night, cause I got an early morning

If you're feeling lonely I'm in room 128

I could use somebody, that ain't his body

I know I'm probably just putting off the pain

I know better than to drag up memories

What's meant to be is meant to be

Tomorrow I'll pack up my car

And all those regrets they'll be in my rearview mirror

I'll see the bigger picture but tonight's the hardest part of

Weddings, funerals, and empty hotel bars
