Golden Years

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It's been awhile so I think I'll ring up I've got some things that I want to bring up It's been awhile since we added things up So [???] cells and we'll see what springs up It took us ages to know just where we were And what happened last night's a complete blur You must have acted liked like some old boss straight curve Cause I woke up thinking "damn, I don't need her" [Chorus] And I saw my way through my younger days, through hunger pangs And I drank my way through my twenties hun, the money's gone And I slept my way through my thirties here, and thirty dear And it's all but gone by your golden years, so hold them dear [Verse 2] And there's this feeling that I've been catching From some young girl that is oh so fetching She's got me stammering, stumbling, stretching And sailing boats up to pointless sessions And will I ever recover my senses? Or give a six stuck involved while your fences? It's time to fortify all my defenses The drinks aren't killing me but the suspense is [Chorus] And I saw my way through my younger days, through hunger pangs And I drank my way through my twenties hun, the money's gone And I slept my way through my thirties here, and thirty dear And it's all but gone by your golden years, so hold them dear [Verse 3] And I forgot you grew up just like me We took the first half of life so lightly And I'm not sure but I think you might be The very last thing I think of nightly It's in my skin and my bones it gets stronger And I can't put up with this for much longer I speak in dulcet tones just to calm her Cause she's got everything that I long for [Chorus] And I saw my way through my younger days, through hunger pangs And I drank my way through my twenties hun, the money's gone And I slept my way through my thirties here, and thirty dear And it's all but gone by your golden years, so hold them dear [Outro] I don't ever want to go back again, back again And I don't ever want to go back again, back again And I don't ever want to go back again, back again And I don't ever want to go back again, back again
