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
And 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 old George Jones
I'm glad to see
is finally
getting straight
And Waylon's
staying home
and loving Jessie
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
And corn bread
and ice teas
took the place of pills
and ninety-proof
And it seems like
none of us
do things quite
like we used to do
And 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
a lost highway
And Johnny Cash
don't act like he did
back in sixty-eight
And Kriss he is
a movie star
and he's moved off
to L.A.
And nobody wants
to get drunk
and get loud
And all my
rowdy friends
have settled down
Yeah me and
my rowdy friends
done rowdied on down
