Main Street, 1979

Leg stickin' to the vinyl seats

Ice cream truck goes by on the street

My little brother doesn't even look

Head buried in a comic book

Dad comes back with cigarettes

Radio plays Bennie and the Jets

Mama sang, says don't touch that dial

Daddy just smiles

And we rolled out of the five and dime

Main Street, 1979

Passed the park and the hardware store

Daddy waves to the man in the door

Stopped down at the KFC, soon there's

Chicken smellin' up the back seat

Mama says you boys leave that bucket alone

We'll all eat when we get home

Catch my dad in the sideview mirror

Grinnin' ear to ear

He was holdin' mama's hand real tight

Main Street, 1979

I wonder now whose town this is

As I roll in with my wife and kids

'Cause nothin' seems to change

But nothin' stays the same

Daddy drove on and there he was

Loadin' lumber on a flatbed truck

Grandpa waved and smiled real big

Lord, how he loved us grandkids

Six years later, when the cancer came

That old man didn't know my name

Wish now dad had stopped the car

And I'd run for a hug from grandpa's arms

But I barely waved as we drove by

Main Street, 1979

What I'd give for one more ride

Down Main Street, 1979

Alright, are we ready?

I wanna welcome you all to the, uh

To the Starlight Lounge here in, uh

Reno, Nevada and, uh we got, uh

Slick Willie and the Doolittles right here and, uh

We're gonna feature, uh, Travis, uh

Aw, screw it, just start the song

Hey, uh, who's ready for a good time here tonight? Anybody?

Aw yeah, feels good

I wanna welcome you to the Starlight, come on in, folks

Got that song by Johnny Paycheck

Playin' on my radio

Been a long week

Feelin' wasted

Man, that job of mine's gettin' old

Windows down, out on the highway

Friday night's callin' me, how 'bout you?

Sayin' come on, come on

Come on, come on

We all need a little good time, yeah we do

We all need to break away every now and then

When you're workin' in the salt mine

You wanna feel the sunshine on your skin

And there ain't nothin' wrong with wantin' to feel alright

We all need a little good time, yeah we do

How 'bout you, Barbara?

I know you could use a good time

I forgot the words, but that's okay

I'm gonna do a recitation right here

Got some good friends, kinda crazy

I meet 'em down at the old hotel, that's right here

And we laugh some, drink some cold ones

And some martinis, right Bruce?

I see ya over there

But when I mention her

Ow, it still hurts

Say, I think I'm gonna call it a night

You say come on, come on

Well, come on, come on

We all need a little good time, hey

We all need to look away every now and then

When you're workin' in the salt mine

You wanna feel the sunshine on your skin

And there ain't nothin' wrong with wantin' to feel alright

We all need a little good time

I play smooth, sonny

That's the kid there from Albuquerque, New Mexico

Sayin' come on, come on

Come on, come on

Won't you come along with us?

Come on, come on

Well, come on, come on, hey

We all need a little good time

We all need to break away every now and then

When you're workin' in the salt mine

You wanna feel the sunshine on your skin

And there ain't nothin' wrong with wantin' to feel alright

And there ain't nothin' wrong with wantin' to stay all night

We all need a little good time

Yeah, come on, come on

We all need a little good time

Yeah, come on, come on, come on

Take it over, boys

That's right

Last call
