I’m just of real sad folk
And ’85 was our best year
And she says it gets much worse
Before it gets any better
So I take it with a grain of salt for the other means
I wonder why it doesn’t keep her up at night
Like it does me
We talk the way you do
I have a sweet or two
For my only plus you say
They’re getting bigger everyday
So I take it with a grain of salt for the other means
I wonder why it doesn’t keep him up at night
Like it does me
I’ll be in your car
I locked the keys in your car
I’ll be in your car for now
You wanna fool around? I ask
I get a sour reply
From the other wheel
That always rises to the occasion
So I take it with a grain of salt for the other means
I wonder why it doesn’t keep you up at night
Like it does me
I’ll be in your car
I locked the keys in your car
I’ll be in your car for now
I’ve been a mess for some time now
I get what I deserve
For someone who leaves behind a life
I can't do better
So I take it with a grain of salt for the other means
I wonder why it doesn’t keep you up at night
(Up at night, up at night, up at night)
Like it does me
And ’85 was our best year
And she says it gets much worse
Before it gets any better
So I take it with a grain of salt for the other means
I wonder why it doesn’t keep her up at night
Like it does me
