In the prime of your life
|
At a time when a crisis is common in men
|
Old enough to know better
|
In the middle of life
|
Equally distant from mother and maker and
|
My, old enough to know better
|
|
Look at you man, she says
|
You're mutton dressed as lamb
|
Fancy yourself, very gentleman's quarterly
|
What in the world would a home county girl want with you?
|
|
Opportunity waits
|
In the window for men in a moment of weakness
|
Old enough to know better
|
And when it's too late, she smiles, takes your hand and says
|
Sorry I ruined your life
|
Old enough to know better
|
|
Look at you man, she says
|
You're mutton dressed as lamb
|
Fancy yourself, very gentleman's quarterly
|
What in the world would a home county girl want with you?
|
|
There's no release in your life
|
