It's called Maximum Honky Tonk, and no one plays it like Bob Wire. Country, blues, rockabilly, folk, and some good ol' rock and roll. Honest, smart and funny.
Funniest blog on the web? Judge for yourself at NewWest.net/BobWire. You won't regret it. I swear. This is Butt-twitchin' country music for adults with a brain and a sense of humor! Bob Wire writes catchy, original songs with a twisted perspective that puts him way out in the left field of Nashvegas. Bob sez: Hank Jr. is the disease, and Hank Sr. is the cure.

Story behind the song
It taps into that wistful feeling we all get when we sometimes think about how great life was when we were young and carefree.
Lyrics
I drove down to Tucson, looking for a guy I used to know We’d had some times together, all those many years ago Though he’s got a few more wrinkles And his hair is flecked with grey All he had to do was smile And the years just fell away We showed each other photos of our children and our liberated wives Complained about our problems and careers and our complicated lives But the conversation drifted To the memories we shared Of a life of all-night parties Without consequence or care Solo (to verse) The night gave way to sunrise, and I said I had to go He offered me the guest room, but we both knew I’d say no One night of reminiscing Couldn’t change the simple fact That our lives have something missing But there ain’t no going back No, there ain’t no going back
