More Back Pages
He’s early to bed and early to rise
No hangover cures, no puffy grey eyes
He turns off the music at the first signs of yawning
But now he wants to rock n roll till the morning.
Things have changed since all those beers ago
Oh I was so much soberer then
I’m drunker than that now.
Study for college assignments on time
Ease up on the parties hold back on the wine
These days she wants to stoke a different fire
She wants to know how it feels to be a bird on a wire.
Things have changed since all those beers ago
Oh I was so much soberer then
I’m drunker than that now.
He’s steady at work and everyone knows
He’s Mr. Reliable, he keeps on his toes
Straighten that tie and shine up those shoes
He’s up all night drinking and singing the blues.
Things have changed since all those beers ago
Oh I was so much soberer then
I’m drunker than that now.
Everyone knows he keeps a clear head
He’s always alert ‘tween breakfast and bed
Lately I’ve seen him crawl from his shell
And now he wants to drink from a different well.
Things have changed since all those beers ago
Oh I was so much soberer then
I’m drunker than that now.
Things have changed since all those beers ago
Oh I was so much soberer then
I’m drunker than that now.
Oh I was so much soberer then
I’m drunker than that now.
