Carryin' On This Way Songtext
von 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
You 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 every day
You 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
And you 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
You 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
You think that you′d know better than to still
Be carryin' on this way

Yeah, you think that you′d know better than to still
Be carryin' on this way
