85

I'm just of real sad folk, and
'85 was our best year, and
She says it gets much worse 'fore
It gets any better

So I take it with a grain of salt
For the other means, I
Wonder why it doesn't keep her up at night
Like it does me

We talk the way you do and
I have a sweet or two for
My only plus, you say they're
Getting bigger everyday

So I take it with a grain of salt
For the other means, I
Wonder why it doesn't keep him up at night
Like it does me

I'll be in your car
I locked the keys in your car
I'll be in your car for now

You wanna fool around? I ask
I get a sour reply
From the other wheel that always
Rises to the occasion

So I take it with a grain of salt
For the other means, I
Wonder why it doesn't keep you up at night

I'll be in your car
I locked the keys in your car
I'll be in your car for now

I've been a mess for some time
Now I get what I deserve
For someone who leaves behind a
Life I can do better

So I take it with a grain of salt
For the other means, I
Wonder why it doesn't keep you up at night
Like it does me
