Lyrics Carryin' on This Way - Dale Watson

Carryin' on This Way

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
