All my rowdy friends have settled down

And it seems to be more in the 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

Nobady 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 old George Jones

I'm glad to see he's finally getting straight

And Waylon staying home

And loving Jesse more these days

And nobody wants to get drunk and get loud

And all my rowdy friends have settled down

And the hang overs hurt more then they used to

And corn bread and ice tea took

The place of pills and ninety-proof

And it seems like none of us

Do things quite like we used to do

Nobody wants to get high on the town

And all my rowdy friends have settled down

Yeah I think I know what my father meant

When he sang about his lost highway

And Johnny Cash don't act

Like he did back in 68

And Kriss he is a movie star

And he's moved off to L A

Nobody wants to get drunk and get loud

And all my rowdy friends have settled down

Yeah me and my rowdy friends

Have rowdied on down
