    There's a Coke 
    machine

    through 
    the parking 
    lot 

    Call

    room 
    with a 
    view 

    This was 
    the 
    best night 
    of pool 

    that 
    ever 
    shot 

    made 
    lot 
    of 
    money too 

    was looking 
    for some company 

    In 
    the 
    weekly Scene 

    Seen an 
    ad 
    it 
    just 
    had 

    to

    I hadn't seen 
    you 
    since 
    New 
    Or

    And 
    never

    out 
    where 
    you 
    ran off to 

    know I looked 
    bad the 

    last 
    time 
    you

    But

    won 
    tour
    nament 
    last 
    week 

    in 
    Oklahoma 
    City 

    Hustled 
    half 
    of 
    this 
    town to
    night 

    I got some 
    co
    caine 
    if 
    you 

    want 
    some 

    It's 
    the best 
    that I could find 
    Hey 

    we could 
    just sit 
    here 
    and 
    talk 
    all 
    night 

    If 
    that 
    big ol' 
    guy out

    car 
    don't mind 

    Like 
    old 
    times 
    Verse 2

    Screw 
    off 
    the top on 
    a bottle of 
    wine 
    Living 
    out our 

    own 
    kind of 
    Americ
    an 
    dream 

    Old 
    times 

    Your goal 
    was 
    always 
    the same 
    as mine 

    You 
    didn't 
    want 
    to 
    throw a 
    fish
    ing 

    line in that 
    old 
    main stream 

    You 
    know I 
    ain't expect
    Verse 3
    ing 

    anybody 
    but 
    you 

    I don't know 
    who this 
    could 

    be 
    at 
    the door 

    But I'm 
    pretty 
    sure that 
    you 
    got 
    a clue 

    And 
    bet that 
    you've been 

    to this 
    hotel before 

    Put the 
    "you- know- what" 

    - In 
    the bathroom 
    but 

    Don't 
    flush 
    it down 
    just 
    yet 

    Put 
    your 
    pager 
    in 
    my suitcase 

    I'll get 
    the window 

    You light a cigarette 

    It'll be 
    like... 

    Old 
    times 
    Just 
    like 
    the 
    old times 
    Verse 4


    Living 
    out 
    our own 

    kind 
    of 
    American 
    dream 

    Old times 

    Your goal was 
    always 
    the 

    same as 
    mine 

    You 
    didn't 
    want 
    to 
    throw 

    a fishing line 
    in that 
    old main 
    stream 

    No 
    sir officer 
    Verse 5
    you don't 
    under
    stand 

    We're 
    just two 
    old friends 

    drinkin' 
    wine 

    I'm sure she 
    is but 
    that's 
    not all 
    she is 

    She's 
    also 
    an 
    old friend 
    of 
    mine 

    I got 
    her high school 
    pic
    ture 

    right 
    here 
    in 
    my 
    wallet 
    - 1982 

    No sir 
    officer 
    no 
    offense 
    taken 

    You 
    have 
    good night, 
    too 

    Verse 6
    Good 
    thing 
    we didn't 
    throw 
    this away, 

    baby 

    Turn up 
    that 
    radio 

    I'm 
    pretty 
    sure 
    that 
    cop 
    knew 

    what 
    we 
    were 
    up 
    to 

    I guess 
    he 
    just 
    decided 
    to 
    let us go 

    Don't 
    make such a 
    thing 

    about 
    that 
    picture 

    That 
    was 
    just 
    something 
    kept 

    Don't 
    get 
    all sentimental 

    on 
    me now, 
    girl 

    You 
    haven't 
    even 
    told 
    me 

    what your 
    new 
    name 
    is yet 

    Verse 7
    Old 
    times 

    Just 
    like the 
    old times 

    Living 
    out 
    our own kind 

    of 
    American 
    dream 

    Old 
    times 

    Your 
    goal was 
    always 
    the 

    same as mine 

    You didn't 
    want 
    to 
    throw a 
    fishing 

    line 
    in 
    that old 
    main 
    stream

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
