[Verse 1] I often reminisce the good old times When the floorboards shook and nobody missed Just three men standin' in a smoky fit A guitar in front and a bass like a fist [Pre-Chorus] We'd count it off slow then kick it loose Boots hit the wood and the whole room moved No fancy shine just blood and groove One wild night and a secondhand truth [Chorus] Three man band three man band Guitar and bass and a drum hand slam Three man band three man band Play it loud then do it again [Verse 2] The contrabas growled under worn-out strings The drummer kept time like a stubborn spring The singer leaned back and let it ring We'd sing our hearts out for cheap little things [Pre-Chorus] A busted amp hum and a beer-stained floor Every last soul wanted one song more We were young then poor but sure That three strong shadows could open a door [Chorus] Three man band three man band Guitar and bass and a drum hand slam Three man band three man band Play it loud then do it again [Bridge] Now the years have rolled like a freight train does Some names went quiet some roads turned dust But I close my eyes and I still can trust That thump in the ribs and that sweet old rust [Final Chorus] Three man band three man band Guitar and bass and a drum hand slam Three man band three man band Play it loud then do it again Three man band three man band The good old times still live in the hands
