Story Behind The Song
For too long, I had been seeing this title on a plaque, given to my wife by her best friend, celebrating their common love of the grape. After several years of consideration, I could no longer resist the temptation to turn the saying into a song!

Lyrics
The Nights I Can't Remember
©2010 Words and Music by Gary Snead
Chorus 1:
I V
I love the nights I can't remember,
IV V
With the friends I can't forget,
I V
I like to think tonight we'll have a ball,
IV V
But I can't really say just yet,
I V
If we can get this party rolling,
IV V
It's gonna be a pretty sure bet,
I V
It'll be another night I can't remember,
IV V
With the friends I can't forget
Verse 1:
I V
I'm told that when we're drinking,
IV I
Sometimes we'll be quite rude,
I V
Other times they say we all display,
IV V
An angelic attitude,
I V
Though my memory may get fuzzy,
IV I
On this one thing my mind's set,
I V
It'll be another night I can't remember,
IV V
With the friends I can't forget
Chorus 2:
I love the nights I can't remember,
With the friends I can't forget,
Tonight we just might have a ball,
I can't really say just yet,
But if we keep this party going,
I'd call this a pretty sure bet,
To become another night I can't remember,
With the friends I can't forget
Verse 2:
We could sing a little karaoke,
Or dance 'til we break a sweat,
Maybe try to impress the opposite sex,
With tall tales of our Gulfstream® jet,
By nights end I'll grab a cab home,
So on the roads I pose no threat,
'Cause I want more nights I can't remember,
With the friends I can't forget
Chorus 3:
I love the nights I can't remember,
With the friends I can't forget,
Tonight I hope we'll have a ball,
I can't really say just yet,
If we should keep this party rolling,
And our tab's bigger than the National debt,
Man I love the nights I can't remember,
With the friends I can't forget
Fiddle Solo
Chorus 4:
I love the nights I can't remember,
With the friends I can't forget,
Tonight I know we had a ball,
But I can't prove that just yet,
In the morning when I wake up,
I'd lay odds and place my bet,
I had another night I can't remember,
With the friends.... I can't for--get
