All my rowdy friends have settled down 
and they seem to be more in the 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 hang around.
But nobody wants to get high on the town
and all my rowdy friends have settled down.

Yeah, I think I know what my father meant when he sang about a lost highway 
and old George Jones I’m glad to see he’s finally getting straight,
and Waylon staying home and loving 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 then they used to 
and …something something… and ice teas took the place of pills and ninety-proof,
and none of us seem to do things quite like we used to do
and nobody wants to get high and get loud 
and all my rowdy friends have settled down.

yeah me and my rowdy friends done rowdied on down.
