lyrics

Lately I’ve been trying to contemplate my life
But my thoughts keep turning back to my best friend’s wife
Spend my nights rambling around these downtown streets
Spend my days wrinkling all the neighbors’ sheets

My life was once an open book, now I’ve torn out every page
My friends were worried about me, now worry’s turned to rage
They’re whispering all over town, and I hear what they say
They say that I’m too old to go astray

I used to be Old Faithful, now the water’s all run dry
Used to be a do-right man, now I’m not that kind of guy
I met a languid twenty-five, shoulda tipped my hat
But we stripped her delicates off at the laundromat

My friends were worried about me, now worry’s turned to rage
They just cannot approve of my wayward middle age
They’re whispering all over town, and I hear what they say
They say that I’m too old to go astray

Once I was a pillar of my community
Now I’m like those toppled ruins in the sand
People once embraced me and even bought me drinks
Now they shudder just to shake my hand

My Daddy’s words of wisdom, advice I took to heart
He said, “Watch it, son, and stop it, before you even start”
One glass of Jack Daniel’s, Daddy, cautious to the end
I raise the bottle to you and throw caution to the winds

My friends were worried about me, now worry’s turned to rage
They just cannot approve of my wayward middle age
They’re whispering all over town, and I hear what they say
They say that I’m too old to go astray
