All My Rowdy Friends (Have Settled Down)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus 1] 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 Jessi more these days And nobody wants to get drunk and get loud And all my rowdy friends have settled down [Bridge] Ow! [Verse 3] And the hangovers hurt more than they used to And corn bread and ice teas 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 [Chorus 2] 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's moved off to L.A.. And nobody wants to get drunk and get loud And all my rowdy friends have settled down [Outro] Yeah, me and my rowdy friends done rowdied on down
