lyrics

You and I, we were once thick as thieves
Blood brothers, direct descendants of Adam and Eve
You and I, stumbling through those hot Texas nights
Reckless and young, just spoiling for a fight

You can be Steve McQueen
And I'll be Frank Sinatra
Mad men, iconic laughs
Drinking tonic and vodkas ... yeah yeah

You and I, we would wake up surrounded, by empties and fallen soldiers
Can barely recall those younger years ... now that I'm older
There was a time, when I loved you like my kin
Learned my lesson the hard way:
Pride and envy they're the worst of the seven sins

You can be Steve McQueen
And I'll be Frank Sinatra
Mad men, iconic laughs
Drinking tonic and vodkas

I thought you'd be Steve McQueen
And I'd be Frank Sinatra
We were boys playing pretend
Drinking our tonic and vodkas ... yeah yeah

You can be Steve McQueen
And I'll be Frank Sinatra
Mad men, iconic laughs
Drinking tonic and vodkas ... yeah yeah
