Intro :
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
ev'rybody 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 a round
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 fin'lly gettin' straight
And Waylon's stayin' home and lovin' 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 cornbread and iced 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
And 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 Johnny Cash don't act like he did back in sixty eight
And Kris 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
