She played third base on a softball team Had a pretty good arm and real nice swing I was workin' part-time out at Gentry's farm Had a thing for a girl in a uniform And after the game she was mine, young, wild and free Yeah, old Mr. Gentry was pretty cool He said son, "I know where I'd be And what I'd say if it was me" But, one of these days We're gonna have to grow up Have to get real jobs and be adults, someday, just not today Have to worry about things out of our control Like kids, love, and money and gettin' old, someday Just not today, just not today Had a rope swing hangin' from a sycamore tree By a deep little spot on white sand creek Used to walk barefoot, down a little dirt path We'd throw out the beach towels and lay on our backs Had four-wheel drive trucks parked up in the shade With those speakers blastin' we never knew, how much we really had it made Without a care in a world, we'd say One of these days We're gonna have to grow up Have to get real jobs and be adults, someday, just not today Have to worry about things out of our control Like kids, love, and money and gettin' old, someday Just not today, just not today Have to show some maturity, responsibility Pay the old fiddler, face reality Maybe tomorrow, the older and wiser we'll be God love us, we'll be One of these days We're gonna have to grow up Have to get real jobs and be adults, someday, just not today Have to worry about things out of our control Like kids, love, and money and gettin' old, someday Just not today, just not today Just not today Just not today

Honestly, I didn't think I'd end up here this time Or anywhere at all, I'm distant just enough to never fall behind Picturing the saddest scene of wearing bedsheets And two pats on the back, "It just takes time" It's getting late, since when did taking time take all my life?

Coffee cups and cigarettes Upon the balcony A lost philosophy Breaking down A summer frown has got the best of me Won't you confess to me? You don't need me To function anymore Take the keys and lock the door You don't need me To function anymore Take the keys and lock the door I'm going out of my mind A glass of wine At five to nine in the morning The clearest warning Pop your pills As the day is barely dawning I lie there yawning Take a look at me now I never really made you proud I've been floating on the clouds of black and grey So just leave me here like this Without a lovers goodbye kiss You know I'd only take the piss I'm going out of my mind You don't need me To function anymore Take the keys and lock the door You don't need me To function anymore Take the keys and lock the door I'm going out of my mind
