Every Now And Then

Every now and then I got out with a friend or two And have a few rounds I make it home by ten, but I remember when I used to close that place down The whiskey and the smoke and a couple tasteless jokes Don't taste the way they did I just do it every now and then to remind myself why I just do it every now and then And every now and then I surrender to a whim My wheels wind up west of town And I turn down that street that just turns out to be A road I shouldn't go back down All those memories they've turned to ghosts and weeds I don't' wanna hurt like that again I just do it every now and then to remind myself why I just do it every now and then Sometimes I forget why things in my past Are things in my past Sometimes to see clear why I left there for here I gotta take a step back Every now and then I spend a minute with the man I was till I loved you And I walk those empty miles, reminisce and reconcile And I smile at the me you never knew He's good for a good laugh, but anything beyond that I don't wanna relive I just do it every now and then to remind myself why I just do it every now and then Sometimes I forget why things in my past Are things in my past Sometimes to see clear why I left there for here I gotta take a step back Every now and then I go out with a friend or two And have a few rounds
