Fell in love at 22
With a girl that's close to you
Find a job and find a life
No morel ong days running wild
With your girl and family too
Playing card games in the room

This is our life
Our old times

Now that John is 42
With a family like you
With a job that let him down
Don't you know I led him around

I can't relax while laying down
It's alright, they'll call right back
You can't compress with the always used
Play something new

We want it bad
Can we please come home
We want it bad
Ya, we want it bad

You can't compress with the always used
Play something new

We look back and forth
Just looking for a lifeline
Nothing more than hours
Just waiting for a phone call

These are the nights
When nothing is gonna break me more
Jesus please come soon
This afternoon

All we want is our own
To be here for a lifetime
But you can't expect the whole world

(Instrumental)

I know we can work it out
Spend some time to talk it out

I know it will all work out
Say so
It will all work out
If you say so

Please don't you rush about
When you know that I'm down and out
