BLACK AND WHITE SNAPSHOTS IN THE BOTTLE TREE BAR

Diabetic Dougie's up onstage
drinking sugar gin
playing some old cheating song
on his brother's old mandolin
then he falls down right in front of the drums
and falls back asleep again
we all laugh and cheer for him
say, Hell yeah rock and roll again
rock and roll again for your old friends

Slapstick Susie's shooting red snappers
they're syrupy sweeter than sin
mascara tears like wasted years
dripping down off her chin
she buys a round for everyone
says, Set 'em up for my old friends
and we pledge loyalty til the end
say, Hell yeah rock and roll again
rock and roll again for your old friends

(chorus)
black and white snapshots
everybody squeeze in near
black and white snapshots
everybody stand out clear
so we'll never forget that we were
here in our favorite bar
in our longest year

Marvin says his mama died last Monday
but she went out in style
so Marving pays his tab and says
I'm checking out for awhile
but I'll be back and it's a fact
I'll be back wearing a smile
we all laugh and cheer for him
say, Hell yeah rock and roll again
rock and roll again for your old friends

(chorus)
