Lyrics
I've got a bruised and battered face
And i've just been put in my place,
By a man who's half my age
Yeah it's the end of my macho days.
You see, I forgot i'm sixty-three
The liquor made a fool of me,
I took advantage of his wife,
I kissed her quick and i slapped her behind
That's when his fist came crashing down
On the side of my face, sent me spinning round
Then two in the guts and one on my nose,
And where my false teeth went to, nobody knows?
So goodbye to the good ole days, and goodbye to my roving ways,
Goodbye good looks and youth,
Now i guess i see the truth..Hello my old friend.
At the count of ten i got up off the floor,
In a daze, i staggered to the door,
With howls of laughter ringing in my ear,
I Guess it's the last time i'll be back in here
Now I've got to be a better man
i've got to act my age and do what i can,
Just be devoted to my wife,
Try to live a happy sober life.
But now i see, i've been such a fool,
spent too many years sitting on this barstool,
wasted too many times like a rolling stone,
All along, i should have been happy at home,
So goodbye to my good ole days, And goodbye to my roving ways,
Goodbye to good looks and youth,
Now i finally see the truth
Hello my old friend..the truth.
