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
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.
