Bad Side Of 25 |
You wake to grab your shovel |
See your breath, it’s made of tar |
It’s a subzero archaeological dig to find that artifact of a car |
It’s a 1992 Corolla with a busted left tail light |
But you’re always reminded the oil one works right |
And all the good old boys are playing bad new songs |
On the country station while the city moves on |
The hot young things, they don’t age like wine |
I’m on the bad side of 25 |
I’m on the bad side of 25 |
So you swivel out the driveway |
Of this tundra you call home |
And bumper car your way on back to work |
It’s a place you hate to know so well |
And yet feel so unknown |
So you hula the snow off your parka all alone |
What I’ve seen might air supply your hard rock spine |
I’ve lived long enough to see some good friends die |
It’s a dangerous time to be a friend of mine |
I’m on the bad side of 25 |
I’m on the bad side of 25 |
Some people fade like evening |
Some just never go away |
But there’s simply no place safer than the bank the day after the robbery |
So you wake to grab the paper |
Sip your coffee, too much grind |
You don’t so much mind the aging |
You just mind the getting wise |
Mix two parts jack with two bloodshot eyes |
And you still feel cheated when your buzz subsides |
Put your poor old parents through some sleepless nights |
Still on the good side… |
Still on the good side… |
How old will I be when I try to freeze time |
And my age degrades into a well worn lie |
She looks 18, between you and I |
I’m on the bad side of 25 |
My line 'til I slide by 35 |
Make that the bad side of 45 |
If you remember the Berlin wall, sing it |
(I'm on the bad side of 25) |
If you remember before Chernobyl, sing it |
(I'm on the bad side of 25) |
If you remember before Mike Tyson was the champ, yeah |
(I'm on the bad side of 25) |
If you remember the Super Bowl shuffle, don’t sing it |
(I'm on the bad side of 25) |
Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah |
I’m on the bad, bad, bad, bad side, yeah |
(I'm on the bad side of 25) |
I’m on the bad side, on the bad side |
(I'm on the bad side of 25) |
Ooh, ooh, ooh |
Bad, bad side |
(I'm on the bad side of 25) |
Bad, bad, the bad, the bad, the bad side, the bad side, the bad side, bad side |
(I'm on the bad side of 25) |
