All my rowdy friends have settled down 
and they seem to be more in 
to 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
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 'ol george jones
i'm glad to see us
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 too
and cornbread and iced tea's 
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 
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 '68
and kris he is a movie star
and he's moved off to la
and nobody wants to get drunk and get loud 
and all my rowdy friends have settled down
Yeah me and my rowdy friends
just routed on down
