All my rowdy friends have settled down
And they seem to be more into laid back songs
And 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 ole' George Jones, I'm glad to see, is finally getting straight
And Waylon's 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 hangovers hurt more than they used to
And corn bread and iced tea took the place of pills and 90-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 '68
And Kris he is a movie star and he moved out 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 just rowdied on down
