lyrics

They’re making coffee in the moonlight
Frying beans out the back.
Staying up real late
Telling jokes and talking crap.
Spinning records with an ear
For those early kinda songs.
Sometimes it sounds a little rough
And even a little wrong

An old cowboy song, a west coast jam
That tunes goes on and on.
And my friend grins hard and exhales smoke
Slaps his thigh and sings along.
Now everybody’s laughing
Laughing on and on.
Records in the winter
And the pleasure of the song.
Records in the winter;
Records in the spring;
Records in the summertime;
Records with our friends.

The music’s loud, fast, relentless,
The beat and rhythm strong.
There’s whiskey in our hearts and glasses
And whiskey in this song.
Someone shouts, you look around
Behind the heaving throng.
“A round for anyone who dances
A dance to this here song”.
And when the melody bounces
And the lyrics string along
The barman’s voice is interrupted
The waitress stays her tongue.

We don’t know where the boss is
About an hour ago by now.
From behind the bar he took a bottle
And disappeared in the night.
He won’t be back until tomorrow
Or even next weekend.
We’ll just stay up real late and listen
To records with our friends.
Records in the winter;
Records in the spring;
Records in the summertime;
Records with our friends.
