Good Times, Bad Ideas

Yeah…

Here’s to the nights we should’ve stayed home,

But somehow became the stories we still tell.

We had no plans, just a tank full of gas,

A couple bad thoughts and a foot on the dash,

Laughing so hard that we couldn’t breathe,

Running from tomorrow like it couldn’t catch me.

Midnight calls, “Yo, where you at?”

One dumb idea and we’re never going back,

We knew damn well it could end badly,

But damn… that night was legendary.

We weren’t looking for trouble,

Trouble knew our names,

We turned a little spark

Into a goddamn flame.

Good times, bad ideas,

Living like we got no fears,

Making memories we’ll laugh about

For the rest of our years.

Good times, bad ideas,

Turn the music up, let it disappear,

Maybe we were crazy,

Maybe we were young—

But those were some of the best damn nights

We ever had!

Sun coming up and we’re still wide awake,

Talking ‘bout everything and every mistake,

“Never again”—yeah, we said that before,

Then somebody yelled, “Let’s do one more!”

No map, no rules, no clue where we’d land,

Just good friends and a half-assed plan,

If life is a book, then these are the pages

Where we lost our minds and created our legends.

Maybe someday we’ll settle down,

Maybe someday we’ll figure it out,

But I’ll never trade those reckless years

For a life without those memories here.

Good times, bad ideas,

Raise a glass to the wildest years,

Every wrong turn, every crazy night,

Somehow made the memories right.

Good times, bad ideas,

Yeah, we were young and full of fire,

If I could go back, I’d do it again—

Maybe change a few things…

But never change the friends.
