Carryin' on This Way - Dale Watson

Good mornin' fella,

you don’t look too good today

Your eyes are red, your skin is pale,

you look like you could use a shave

You had a good time last night,

look at the price you had to pay

You think that you’d know better, than to still,

be carryin' on this way.

Look at the gray,

stickin' out of your hair

Ya think that you could take a hint,

there’s a reason, mother nature put it there.

While you’re out there makin' more wrinkles,

your family’s makin' more memories everyday

Ya think that you’d know better, than to still,

be carryin' on this way.

Crashin' into 40,

might better think about growin' up.

You got a wife and kids that lean on ya,

are you strong enough.

Get down off your high horse,

ain’t nobody listenin' to what you say.

Ya think that you’d know better, than to still,

be carryin' on this way.

I rinse off the toothbrush,

put the lid back on the toothpaste tube

Then I look up in the mirror,

just to get me one more good look at you

Man you can’t be as dumb as you look,

it ain’t too late to make a change

Ya think that you’d know better, than to still,

be carryin' on this way.

Crashin' into 40,

might better think about growin’up.

You got a wife and kids that lean on ya, brother,

are you strong enough.

Get down off your high horse,

ain’t nobody listenin' to what you say.

Ya think that you’d know better, than to still,

be carryin' on this way.

Yea ya think that you’d know better, than to still,

be carryin' on this way
