We all need a place where to feel wanted
We all need some friends though the thick and the thin
The best of times
Don’t judge the walls around your pride
And that’s the way it is here at the 89
Make yourself welcome, hang your hat and stay
Hey, why don't you get out your guitar and play
We’ll all sing along
That's if you don’t fuck up the song
And that’s the way it is here at the 89
Running 'round the fire like the three-blind mice
Making games of the world and paying the price
I wouldn’t change a single thing
These are the best of times, they're really the best of times
And that’s the way it is here at the 89
Never had much money for most of the year
Just enough for some smoke and a handful of beer
And a ticket for the show
Where the tiny pages say hello
And that’s the way it is here at the 89
Sweet Sister Jean, she was my queen
Our quiet kingdom never made the scene
But we binged for days on laughs
And we both got good at being bad
And that’s the way it is here at the 89
Running 'round the fire like...
Those days are now just a distant memory
Fading candles I can barely see
And though I'm still having lots of fun
The magic of the first time’s gone
And that’s the way it was back at the 89
