One More Night At Stonecroft (LIVE)

By Jimmy Shoals · One More Night At Stonecroft

Mary Beth — you and the whole music club have been far too good to us tonight. I mean that. Stonecroft Rec Centre... what a room. I've been bending your ear all evening about this crazy journey — the machine, the tech, the whole wild ride — and you've been more patient with me than I probably deserved. So I want to give a little something back. My name is Jimmy. I wrote this one for every person in this room. If you know the words — and I think you just might — please sing it with me. Out at Stonecroft where the tiki lights are on Mary Beth's already got the evening planned She hauled pimento cheese when the golf league played the Masters — Indoor Augusta — proper crowd in hand She runs the music like she runs a good room First one standing when there's something to say You do something worth announcing 'round here She already heard — and she's already cleared a path One more night at Stonecroft We showed up different people And we all found the same bar From a simple "how you been?" To the kind of night you don't forget Saltwater saints and sunburned strangers Laughing like we've always known each other yet One more night at Stonecroft Marty's tapping out a beat on the tabletop Can't help it — the man's always in time Stone Jam Band's last show is coming up in September He lifts his glass like it's a beat and not a goodbye Talks hockey, then the servers, then the back nine All in one breath like it's all the same swing Says everything runs better with a backbeat And honestly — nobody at Stonecroft's gonna argue with him Rob says Bruce can't count his scorecard Bruce says "that's a generous view" Thursday morning on the fairway Two different scores — and both of 'em true But back around the poker table Last stool at the bar on Thursday night Rob's quietly building his retirement plan And Bruce keeps showing up to help finance it right They used to call him the geek that could speak — The one who'd translate the tech to plain Server room in the morning Boardroom and back again These days he's running lyrics through the machine Watching rock and roll come back alive Turns out the kid who wanted to be famous at sixteen Was just waiting for the technology to arrive One more night at Stonecroft We showed up different people And we all found the same bar From a simple "how you been?" To the kind of night you don't forget Saltwater saints and sunburned strangers Laughing like we've always known each other yet One more night at Stonecroft One more night at Stonecroft Last call drifting through the tiki bar Stars already in Someone says "same time tomorrow?" And nobody says "depends"
