All my rowdy friends have settled down
And they seem to be more
into laid back songs
Nobody wants to get drunk and get loud
Everybody just wants to go back home
I myself have seen my wilder days
And I have seen my name
at the top of the page
But I need to find a
friend just to run around
But nobody wants to get high on the town
And all my rowdy friends
have settled down
And I think I know what my father meant
When he sang about a lost highway
And ol' George Jones I'm glad to see
Is finally gettin' straight
And Waylon's stayin' home
And lovin' Jessi more these days
And nobody wants to
get drunk and get loud
And all my rowdy friends
have settled down
(Interlude – 16 bars)
And the hangovers hurt
more than they used to do
And cornbread and ice tea's
Took the place of pills and ninety proof
And it seems like none of us do things
Quite like we used to do
But nobody wants to get high on the town
And all my rowdy friends
have settled down
Yeah and I think I know
what my father meant
When he sang about a lost highway
And Johnny Cash don't act
like he did back in '68
And Kris he is a movie star
and he's moved off to LA
And nobody wants to
get drunk and get loud
And all my rowdy friends
have settled down
Yeah me and my rowdy friends
done right it on down
