We walked inside Heads held up high
Arms full of braces
Said we’ll survive
Wore our old jeans
Frayed at the seams
Groan like we’re ancient
When the bass hits clean
Guess these over-forty bodies
Know us better than we do
Show up every time we party
Try to dance
But ache right through
I keep sipping half a beer
Like it might give me a clue
Why these tired old best friends
Stay
And still act like we’re twenty-two
We grabbed a booth at eight
Called it the VIP
Ordered lemon water
Said “it’s for me”
Watched the kids on the floor
Jumping wild and fast
I swear for a second
We pulled a muscle last
These over-forty bodies
Know our spots and all our moves
Every chair for quick resting
Every detour to the booze
I keep rolling out my shoulders
Till the lights turn back to blue
With these tired old best friends
Standing in for our youth
Maybe we should call it
Quit by half past nine
Go home to our quiet
Leave the kids to shine
But each song starts playing
Our old anthem, loud and tough
(and I think)
Staying up past our bedtime
Is just the right amount of too much
So these over-forty bodies
Take the beats that once took us
Catch our breath ‘fore the chorus
Like we used to
Me and you
I walk home a little slower
Just to rub my aching hip
Me and my tired old best friends
Learning how to party with it
