Good Ol’ Days
The Script Lyrics

Up in the bar all smoking cigars
We were hanging out in a bar, smoking cigars and having a good time.

While we were drinking Irish whiskey straight from the jar
We were drinking whiskey straight from the jar without any mixers.

Talkin' 'bout them better days are not that far
We were discussing how we believe that good times are ahead of us.

Whoever's coming back to mine you better bring the guitar
Whoever is coming back with me needs to bring a guitar so we can play music.

You play a sad song, yea sing it from the heart
If you're going to play a sad song, sing it with feeling and emotion.

Tell a sad story, yea tell it from the start
If you're going to tell a sad story, start at the beginning and make it meaningful.

Pass me on the pain that you made into art
Share your experiences with others through artistic expression.

Yeah, pierce it through my skin like a heroin dart
Make the story so powerful that it feels like a drug piercing through my skin.

Someone strummin' on the strings and they're spittin' things
When someone is playing an instrument and sharing their thoughts and feelings.

Everybody's movin' groovin' vibes when the other sings
Everyone is enjoying the music and feeling the emotions when someone sings along to the beat.

They gon' kill you with the passion and the soul
The incredible passion and soul that comes with singing can make you feel a strong emotional connection.

When the first verse drops, you be fighting back the tears and all
The emotional content of the first verse can make you feel like crying but you resist.

While another man's crying in his beers and all
While someone else is already feeling extremely emotional.

While his woman is sayin' cheers to it all
The man's partner is trying to console him and support him through the emotional experience.

Ain't no shame in the game, just the way we were raised
There's no dishonor in expressing oneself through music, since it is something that is greatly valued and appreciated.

To always sing about better days, better days
We should always sing about how things are getting better and will continue to do so.

We'll remember this night when we're old and gray
We will look back fondly on this night when we are older.

'Cause in the future these will be the good ol' days
In the future, we will look back on these days and remember them as the good times.

Ten o'clock and it's off, what started as a pub crawl
Our night out started off as a casual drink at the local pub.

Now we're all lost
Now we're all feeling a bit disoriented and unsure about where we are.

Better live it out tonight, tomorrow's gonna cost
We should all live in the moment tonight since there may be consequences or negative effects tomorrow.

So get up on that piano boy and play your ass off
Someone should step up to the piano and play their best music.

If you play it real good, everybody sings along
If you play great music, everyone will join in and sing along.

If you bang us out a beat, everybody move along
If you play a great rhythm or beat, everyone will start dancing and moving to the music.

Play us somethin' real we can hang our hopes on
Play us something inspiring and uplifting that we can believe in.

Sing a rebel song and watch us march along
Sing a song that inspires us to rebel or stand up for what we believe in.

Won't you come along? (oh, these times are hard)
Join us in this experience and be a part of this moment, even though times may be difficult.

And meet Jenny, meet Pete, meet Mary, meet Keith
Meet some of the people who are here with us tonight: Jenny, Pete, Mary, and Keith.

They're busking on the street seven days a week
These people make a living by playing music on the street every day of the week.

Pay a pound, pay a penny, make it full or leave it empty
You can pay as much or as little as you want, or not at all, when listening to these street performers.

They play, you listen, that's plenty
These musicians play their music for you to listen to and enjoy, and that's all that's necessary.

It's 2am now, we're dancing in the rain and all
It's now 2am, and we're all dancing in the rain, having a great time despite the weather.

Hanging out of each other like the pain is gone
We're holding onto each other tightly, as if the emotional pain we feel has disappeared for the moment.

These are my people, these are my crowd
These are the people whom I feel most connected to and most comfortable around.

And I'm never too proud to sing about 'em
I will never hesitate to sing about my people or my experiences with them.

I got the whole place singin' yea, singin' this song
I've got everyone in the bar singing along to this song.

Even the old man there with the paddy hat on
Even the old man with the Irish cap is singing along.

Is singin' woo hoo (come on sing it sing it, ooh ooh)
He's singing along and encouraging everyone else to join in with him.

Even the girl over there with the red dress on
Even the girl in the red dress is singing along.

Singin' woohoo (she singin', ooh ooh)
She's singing along and enjoying the music.

Oh, I got the whole bar drinkin' yeah, singin' this tune
Everyone in the bar is drinking and singing along to the music.

And the guys over there with the big tattoos
Even the guys with the intimidating tattoos are enjoying the music.

Are singin' woohoo, drinkin' and singin', ooh ooh
They're all singing and drinking together, having a great time.

The emo girls with the college degrees
Even the emo girls with college degrees are singing along to the music.

And the tag along friends with the fake ID's
Even the friends who tagged along with fake IDs are enjoying the music.

Singin' woohoo, oh singin' yeah
They're all singing along and having fun.

The good ol' days
These will be remembered as the good old days.

The good ol' days
These will be remembered as the good old days.

The good ol' days, yeah
These will be remembered as the good old days.

The good ol' days
These will be remembered as the good old days.
